I recently came across this 1949 photo of Schwab’s Pharmacy at 8024 Sunset Blvd and found it was the clearest one I’d seen which shows us what was in the window. It reminds us that you could get everything at Schwab’s – toiletries (or “toilet articles” as the sign says), cosmetics and facial creams, booze, prescriptions (with free delivery), stamps, candy, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And at the far right, it seems you could even rent a car from the lot next door where Googie’s would later be built.

Great photos. One of the places you hear about a lot.
