Forgotten New York

EX-LAX, Crown Heights

Stenciled signs for the “chocolated laxative” appeared frequently on drugstore windows frequently in the early to mid-20th Century, and several more can be found concealed under newer awnings, or in full view again when they’re removed, as on this sign on Franklin Avenue near St. John’s Place.
