I vaguely remember Cole (we called it Cole’s) Drug Store on Broad Street. Later, it was off Sullivan Street, next to The Little Store. It became Revco, then waved bye-bye as it decamped to Stone Drive as a CVS.
The ads in the almanac are cheerfully non-pc (“Throw Away That Truss!”) (“Eyeglasses By Mail”). Just right in your face (“Develop a He-man Voice”…buy looser underpants?).
