A horse-drawn delivery wagon loaded with wooden crates is parked outside H.C. Clabuesch’s City Drugstore in Sebewaing — a photo labeled 1909. Back then, the local “druggist” wasn’t just filling prescriptions. Many pharmacies also sold everyday basics, from toiletries to household goods, and deliveries like this helped keep small-town businesses moving.
Old drugstores also handled flammables and chemicals. A 1914 newspaper item later noted Sebewaing narrowly avoided a major fire when alcohol reportedly ignited inside Herman Clabuesch’s store.
