The place of drug stores in radio comedy history

Drug store owner Mr. Peavy was, of course, a hilarious fixture on The Great Gildersleeve, and almost every episode would have a scene in that famous establishment. Fibber McGee would occasionally frequent Kramer's drug store, and once in a while the character of Kramer would have a brief spot. In one episode from 1936 (before Kramer became the proprietor), Fibber was left in charge for the store for a while, with predictable results. In A Day in the Life of Dennis Day, "our hero" worked in a drug store (not very successfully, it appears). In one excellent episode of Meet Mr. McNutley, he treats his wife and Dean  Bradley to ice cream at the store, but forgets his money and has to leave his jewelry for collateral.
