Wynnewood Prescription Pharmacy

Probably early sixties. I think WH stood for Whitehall. My first dentist appointment was in this building. It was demolished a few years ago.

Dry Cold Melons and Ice Cold Arkansas Cider – perfect for those sizzling summer afternoons (although I can’t say I’ve personally ever tasted Arkansas Cider.) H.C. Albin and A.C. Albin may have been a fruit stand located at 641 W. Davis, and would have been between Van Buren and Llewellyn Streets. I’m guessing this is from the early 1940s.

The Green Hut Cafe - 113 W. Jefferson
The Green Hut Cafe was open for at least ten years, from about 1938-1948. It was first located at 244 W. Jefferson, and then moved across the street and down a block to 113. Its slogan was “Finest Foods at Popular Prices”, but in 1943 an injunction was issued against its proprietors for selling beer in excess of wartime price ceilings. In March 1948 the cafe suffered damage from a fire that started in its kitchen, which also damaged several neighboring businesses. It may never have recovered.
