Wall Drug Boot Department

I had never heard of Wall Drug. Have you? The Husteads started this drug store in 1931 and it is still run by the family today. Dorothy Hustead came up with an idea to increase their pharmacy business. She realized that people driving through the hot prairie must be very thirsty and put up signs - Free Ice Water! People flocked to the store and the rest is history. The store is over a city block square. You can find anything at this store from western boots to fossils to a traveler's chapel.
