It is still in operation as far as I know. It wasn’t as old as your pictured one, though. Thanks for an interesting post.

I can't imagine the treasure of having all of the contents preserved as well, so you have the period products in original packaging! What a boon for historians!Connie R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12038621934457678475noreply@blogger.com
