Promotional photo of Clark's Pharmacy taken for the Belding High School yearbook in 1963. That is my grandfather, the owner, behind the counter. He earned a business degree from Bryant Stratton College and a pharmacy degree from Ferris State College. After graduating in 1937, my grandfather borrowed money from his parents to open his own business, choosing the small town of Belding, Michigan. Mr. Clark soon earned a reputation for his strong work ethic and impeccable customer service. You could call him in the middle of the night and he would go downtown, open the store and fill a prescription for you. You would always be greeted by name and a sincere smile along with expert product recommendations. This level of personal service and dedication gave Clark's a very loyal customer base.
Probably the best remembered part of Clark's Pharmacy, though, was the soda counter. Kids would come here after school and on weekends, sit on the bar stools, and order up treats. Malts, milkshakes, ice cream, floats - all served with a smile by the "soda jerks". One of them was a hard working and friendly teenager named Patricia Martin who would so impress the boss that he married her! She is my grandmother.
My grandfather spent long hours in the store to secure a good life for his family. My grandparents raised 3 sons and a daughter in their unassuming little house. Just as they were preparing to retire, I came along and they raised me too. The greatest parents, grandparents, mentors anyone could ever hope to have. My heroes. Then, now, and forever.
Clark's Pharmacy closed in 1973, but lives on in so many memories. To this day people I've never even met come up to me. "Are you Artie Clark's grandson?" "Yes, ma'am I am." "Oh my dear, I fell in love at your grandfather's soda counter. That is where I had my first date, my first kiss. And, well, I guess you know the rest". Or "my daughter woke up with a terrible deathly cough one night. Must have been past midnight. In a terrible panic, I called your granddad. Artie met me down at the store and knew just what we needed. Some special elixir nobody else had. Worked like a charm. He just put it on my tab and sent me on my way. I'm forever grateful". My heart just swells with pride when I hear these stories from complete strangers nearly forty years after the store closed for good. I just smile and say "that what kind of man he was!"
In loving memory of Arthur Jacob Clark Sr. (1912-2003). I miss you Grandpa.

I posted a view of the pharmacy as you come in the main door of the downtown Tupelo Kroger: flic.kr/p/fwERCq. But this is the actual front pharmacy signage, with a familiar-looking Kroger reading center in the foreground. There were too many people milling about to get a closer pic of this pharmacy area.

Next on our agenda was The Pharmacy Speakeasy. I have never understood Prohibition, especially as it was highly unsuccessful for the most part and ultimately failed in the long run. Although most people think of it as being an American notion it was also widespread in other countries, including Canada.
Being a retired pharmacist I was not enamored of the idea that a pharmacy was used as a front for this "den of iniquity" but it sure was fun to dance there. Literally you went through the very normal looking pharmacy to get to the club! We were the only ones there but the stream had some great tunes and the dances were great fun too.
I don't know if this is based on a real place of that era but I did find there is a Pharmacy Speakeasy today in Malaga, Spain and also one in Orlando.
