This photo of the Vogue Drug Co. at 2001 W. Sixth St., downtown Los Angeles was taken in 1926. The caption described it being a building whose signs feature the outgoing bulb lighting in favor of the incoming neon tube lighting. I’d have thought that transition would have happened earlier, but apparently not. The Vogue Drug Co did offer a hot lunch of fried chicken on toast, with desert and drink for 40 cents. Yes please! I also love the bottle-shaped sign for Bromo-Selzer on the left. In my mind, it’s one of those products I associate with the first half of the 20th century (i.e. the interesting half, IMO.)
The building is still there…barely… (February 2017)

The calendar in the window looks like it says 1931.
