{"product_id":"kb-drug-stores-john-s-epstein-9780738582276","title":"K\u0026B Drug Stores","description":"Sydney J. Besthoff III, past president and owner of K\u0026amp;B Drug Stores and grandson of Sydney J. Besthoff (founder with Gustave Katz of Katz \u0026amp; Besthoff Drug Store), is a meticulous keeper of records. The photographs found in this book are from his personal collection, covering the 92-year life span of Katz \u0026amp; Besthoff and K\u0026amp;B Drug Stores. This is a rare opportunity to see these photographs, which chronicle a piece of New Orleans history, during which time the store became a part of the community. K\u0026amp;B Drug Store grew from a local pharmacy with more than 50 locations in the New Orleans area to 186 stores in six states while remaining based in New Orleans. Fondly remembered as the \"purple dragon,\" K\u0026amp;B is greatly missed by all those who passed through its purple doors and were rung up on its purple cash registers. Come sit inside a Katz \u0026amp; Besthoff location one last time and have a Nectar soda--and don't forget to pick up half a gallon of K\u0026amp;B ice cream on your way home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John S.
