Abstract:
Postcard of Laurel Pharmacy in Laurel, Maryland. Card features a black and white photo reproduction of the outside of the drugstore. The two story brick building is at a street corner, windows on the second floor. The lighted sign at the corner looks like a mortar and pestle, and says "Laurel Prescription Pharmacy". From left to right, some of the signs say "Coca-Cola", "Pharmacy, soda", "Grey Bus", "Laurel Pharmacy", "Laurel Jewelry", and "Opticians, watch repair, jewelry". The storefront windows are full of merchandise and advertisements, with two steps leading up to the door. Some people stand on the left side of the building on the sidewalk. Above the middle of the street hangs a four-way traffic light on a cord.
