Common Goods: Retro Drugstore Stock

These pics from Flickr are of vintage drugstore shelves circa 1970. I have a fetish for photos and film footage of store shelves, especially grocery stores, but these shots put drugstores in a close second spot. I think it's something about the lighting and all of the repetition. I wish someone would have preserved a store of this era and in this condition so I could take a gaga-eyed stroll down its aisles, but for now I'll settle for these excellent photos.


Beauty products.


Laundry soap.


Feminine hygene products.


More fem products.


Cleaning products. Love those glove boxes!

Ah! I love these.
There's just something about old packaging that makes my head spin.
Great find.
