The Trout Drug Co. store in Front Royal, Virginia, a town in the northern Shenandoah Valley, gives us an interior view of a small-town pharmacy. The caption card records no date, but its subject tags point to the store's shelving, which suggests the photographer was interested in how merchandise and remedies were displayed. Drugstores of this period were often the social center of a town, combining a prescription counter with sundries, toiletries, and often a soda fountain. Reading the shelves closely shows how a business like this stocked everyday needs for its neighbors.
