Jack Tiller has quite a collection of Lorain memorabilia. And luckily for us, he has been very happy to share it with us through this blog. He's sent me photos of his Lorain bottle collection, and came up with a photo of an
Arvay's Potato Chip can when I needed it. And now he has turned his attention to a well-known Lorain pharmacy of the past:
Kutza's Pharmacy.
He sent me the image above, in which he combined his collection of Kutza bottles and artifacts with a great image of the former building at 1302 Broadway. Nice work, Jack! (Jack is taking it easy after some surgery and I wish him well.)
This 1962 Kutza's ad (below) says that the company had been serving the Lorain area since 1907.

The company disappeared from the city directory around 1967.
Here's Jack's beautiful shot of the building, which is just south of the Frank Nardini railroad underpass. The building appears to be the home of
Haven Church Fellowship.

Jack has sent me photos of some of his other Lorain collections as well, which I appreciate very much. Rest assured you will see them here. Thanks, Jack!
