Galena Park Pharmacy - Galena Park, Texas

Scan of a Kodacolor Print. Taken the week of July 3, 1950. Celebrating July 4th.

 

This is a photo taken by my grandfather and pharmacist, A.C. Sneed, of his drugstore on Clinton Drive....Sneed's Galena Park Pharmacy.

 

Built in the 1940s, it was a full compounding pharmacy complete with a soda fountain - lunch counter....breakfast was served all day. (His favorite meal of the day.)

 

A.C. believed that every customer deserved to have their prescriptions filled regardless of their race, color or religious beliefs. If they didn't have money to pay for their medicine....he would barter with them for goods or services.

 

On the far left of the drugstore you can see the office of Dr. Frank A. Mack. My grandfather leased the space to Dr. Mack for years.
