These two photographs show interior views of employees at the soda fountain in Raymond's Drug Store in Lawrence, Kansas. In the first photograph the man is holding a partially empty soda glass, then, in the second picture, he is holding another full glass and playfully fighting off the two women who are holding drinking straws and trying to drink his soda. In the background are various drug store items on the shelves, a sign advertising the fruit flavors for sodas, and a sign over the mirror advertising Coca-Cola for 5 cents.
