From the back cover of The Complete Exploits of Doc Turner by Arthur Leo Zagat
“Doc” Turner was one of the least likely heroes that appeared in the pulp magazine stories. He was a little old pharmacist who ran a drug store in the slums of New York, where just about everyone came to him when they had problems. Oh, and what problems they had! Werewolves and vampires mixed in with extortionists and gangsters. And solve their problems he did, with the aid of his strapping redheaded assistant, mechanic Jack Ransom, and his young stock boy, Abe Ginsberg.

Clicquot Club Ginger Ale and Soda
Forgotten now, Clicquot Club Ginger Ale and Soda was founded in 1880 and, before Coke, Pepsi, and the others took over, was the ruling soft drink in America that the others had to catch up with.
Noted for using imported high-quality ingredients, they were also the first soda company to put their product in cans, and were one of the first to list their ingredients on their bottles and cans.
The company began to fade after the founder died, and the people left in charge could not keep up with the faster, hipper style that other companies adopted in the 50s.
