Oakland's Early Drug Store on Main Street:

These old cabinets are still in the building... the front right cabinet contains cigars and is different from the others- perhaps and humidor- there would have been a tray in the back you filled with water to keep the tobacco from drying out.
ca late 1800's- early 1900's
a closer view of the items in the back of the store...this building is next to Martha's
Notice that they used mirrors to reflect the light- the back of the store would have been very dark with the lighting options they had.
