Kutza's Pharmacy's 50th Anniversary – Nov. 28, 1957

It was just a few weeks ago that I featured an article about mom-and-pop drug stores.

Well, here's an ad for a well-known Lorain pharmacy that enjoyed a long run. In fact, the full-page ad   for Kutza's Pharmacy – which appeared in the Lorain Journal on November 28, 1957 – celebrated the store's 50th Anniversary.

I did a post about the history of Kutza's back here in 2012, which included a nice photo of some of the pharmacy's vintage medicine bottles courtesy of Jack Tiller. There's also an interesting posted comment about the building left by a gentleman named Ted.

The business was located at 1302 Broadway. The building survived the construction of the Frank Nardini Underpass – but just barely.
