Turnback Tuesday looks at local business Shannon’s Pharmacy owned and operated by druggist James F. Shannon from 1900-1904 at 53 Sixth St., Derby.
A pharmacy would carry items such as elixirs, potions, and tonics. Advertised in the store window is Moxie, a carbonated, mass produced soft drink, as well as malted milk, and ice-cream soda.
This location remained a pharmacy until 1932. After Shannon was J.F. McGrail and then A. Indocci. The building still exists today.
Thanks goes to Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week!
