Historic Ad - Hook's Drug Stores
posted: Aug. 31, 2018
This old ad for Hook's Drug Stores selling TV News ran in 1950.
The Broad Ripple Hook's was at two locations over the years.
In 1950 it was at 6287 College Avenue, on the southeast corner of College and Broad Ripple Avenue, where Louie's Wine Dive is today. Later it moved to where CVS is today.
The ad mentions TV News, which was a local publication predating TV Guide. It was also in several locations in Broad Ripple, which you can read about in the upcoming history of TV News in a future Gazette.
