On October 28, 1919, members of the U.S. Senate took the final step in making Prohibition the law of the land. The nation was going completely dry--and the soda shops were ready.

When Prohibition shuttered saloons, thirsty law-abiding citizens turned to soda fountains for sustenance and entertainment. Parlor owners developed concoctions to suit every taste--and to keep their counters and tables full. Names from the soda shop menu hint at the dimensions of change in this dynamic era: Prohibition Sour, Flapper Frapp , and sundaes like the Suffragist, Soldier Boy Kiss, and "Reel" Nice Movie--all of which are included in this volume--are among scores of tasty, innovative treats.

Soda Shop Salvation collects more than 125 recipes for imaginative drinks, sundae varieties, and luncheonette delights from the 1920s, evoking the time of speakeasies, newfangled devices, and racy automobiles. Tidbits of the history of suffragists and flappers, bootleggers and G-men--whose collective commentary demonstrates that the nation's approach to Prohibition was anything but straightforward--interweave with the recipes. Excerpts and quotes from publications of the time offer advice for entrepreneurs, tips on early road food, and some really corny jokes. Soda Shop Salvation gives readers a taste of life during this turbulent time.

Rae Katherine Eighmey is the author of numerous food history books, including Food Will Win the War: Minnesota Crops, Cooks, and Conservation during World War I and Potluck Paradise: Favorite Fare from Church and Community Cookbooks.

A great product!
Color: Black, Size: 6 Tier(8 inches), Color: Black, Size: 6 Tier(8 inches)
This storage cart really maximizes the space going up. This rolling cart is taller than me; I have 8-foot-tall doors, and you can see from my picture how tall this is. It is lightweight, rolls smoothly, is easy to assemble, and is a great value. You can place heavier or taller shampoo bottles on the shelves; they are pretty steady and not loose. The way this is built, the shelves are sturdy (they have 2 metal poles underneath giving them support). They also don't slide all the way out, so you don't have to worry about pulling it out too far and having things fall. This is a really great product, and I plan to use it in my master bathroom for all the extra stuff we have.

Great value!
Color: Ink Black, Size: 2 pack
Really sturdy and a great value for the money. Almost idiot proof when putting it together, too. The drawing is very specific, and everything is really well marked and numbered. This isn’t fine furniture, but it really is a great value for the money!
