letters made out of? What does this suggest <strong>the</strong>y do in this shop that would never happen in a<br />
chemists shop today?<br />
· The shopkeeper is holding a pair of glasses. What else does this chemists do for its customers?<br />
· On <strong>the</strong> counter is a stand with toothbrushes. Think what you might buy in a chemist's today. Now<br />
