Washington, D.C., circa 1921. "People's Drug Store warehouse." An interesting history of this retail chain here. National Photo Co. View full size.
Here's a much later shot of the (expanded) structure before its remodeling into the 'Peoples Building' at 64 New York Ave NE.
Perhaps I missed this, but the warehouse whereabouts were getting to me.
I believe that's an after-market roadster body on a Ford Model T chassis...
About to post the same question as nowhine, the top looks like a home built project, so the turtle deck might be home built as well.
Maybe someone can ID the cowl & windshield shape.
Where did I get the drugs Officer?. They fell off the back of a truck.
Pushu the Buchu Button!
That is a sporty looking little roadster parked next to the truck. Can any one ID it?
if anyone really intends to ride a bike with a seat adjusted at such an angle.
Buchu Buttons or perhaps EZ Tablets?
Buchu

Genus and species: Barosma betulina, B. crenulata, B. serratifolia

It looks to me like the signs for EZ Tablets and Buchu Buttons were not quite finished when this photo was taken. We can tel by the sign that EZ tablets aided with constipation, But what did Buchu Buttons help with? A little research shows that they were taken for kidney problems...and were available by the tin for 50 cents, at Peoples Drug stores (Now CVS)
