Given to Retail
pharmacy owners..you ordered glass bottles for liquids and
tablets/capsules (to give people their prescriptions ). Plastic was
just coming in. If your drugstore ordered a large amount throughout the
year, you got decor items for the store..they had smaller ones of these,
white versions and a few other things. The large black ones were quite
popular..displayed on the counter that the pharmacist stood behind.
