Galla Creek Ephemeris: Soda Shop

Sunday, September 16, 2007

This is my friend working at her father's

pharmacy at Atkins, AR in the 1950s.

Nearly all pharmacies had a soda fountain.

Ours was called Bishop's Drug Store. The

malts cost 10 cents when I was going to school.

Speaking of malts, it is really hard to find them anymore. I can find shakes but no one seems to use malt powder and really, I'd rather have a malt.

I could get a malt and Fritos at
Bishop's Drug and spend 15 cents.
