We THEN Became REALLY Adventurous
and Purchased the Pharmacy next to
Vic's Market (Groceries) on the NE corner
of Laurel Canyon and Riverside Drive.
We operated the drug store that also
offered counter meals~
Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner !
After a few years of this
we sold to one of our pharmacists.
I neglected to include a very interesting
(to us) bit of activity we that we got
caught up in,
Ladies SHOES~ Large sizes ONLY.
Bob's Father-in-law owned and operated
such a store in downtown Los Angeles
for many years. When he died, we took
over the operation for the widow and
eventually OPENED a branch in San Diego.
The stores were called "Rushton's Shoes"
and had a HUGE following of ladies
with wide feet.
This was BEFORE everyone wore sneakers.
These stores were Bill's babies.
We eventually sold to
our principal vendor, Jerry Siegal.
