Summary

An unidentified server at Horine's Drug Store soda fountain in the 1920s.

Dr. Arlington G. Horine moved to the Square Corner in 1906 from its original location between the tracks. Today the historic building displays a mural in which Dr. Horine plays a prominent part.

Barbara Schaeffer Altman: This brings back great memories. Vanilla or chocolate flavorings added to a soda fountain coke was unbelievable. The penny candy case with the jars of black licorice sitting on top. Does anyone remember the Horine's grandsons names. I remember swinging on a tree swing in that wonderful back yard with them.

Jeani Wolfe Knight: Pet Loyd would let me off the bus here and I'd go to Horine.s and buy 2 grill cheese and 2 ice cream cups and take them to the RR station when Mom would work there. We'd eat in the office and I'd wait until she got off work. Loved that store!

Joyce Miller: Stopped there every day walking home from the old high school to Brunswick Street with Linda Huffer and Monica McLane. We got coke or rootbeer floats for a quarter. We did love the penny candy but we were big time spenders, usually because we didn't spend the quarter for lunch and saved it for the walk home.

Joan Hardy Morris: Grand-Mother Pauline Brooks cooked for the Dr. Horine and family. I loved going through the kitchen to the drug counter to get an ice cream cone. They also had a cage in the yard with squirrels in it. For me it kind of looked like the picture in the fifties.
