People's Drug Store No. 4. Seriously, why was the store's number so prominent?

There is a ghost lady just finishing her lime ricky, right behind the door.

Edward Hopper!

"Rubber Goods" is a euphemism for contraceptives; they could not be more explicit in their description.

[At the time in the retail drug store trade, "rubber goods" referred to hot water bottles, syringes, enema equipment, rubber gloves and other DIY health-care items. - tterrace]

I think I once commented before that these People's Drug Stores look better at night. Their successors, CVS, Rite-Aid etc, now tend to leave their lights on inside the stores because they are, in many cases, open 24/7, at least in NYC. They however, do not dress the windows, they are covered with paper signs.

I always get my rubber goods at the drug store. Hot water bottles should always be purchased at reputable establishments.
