Chewing the Fat at Magee’s

Who are these guys? Do you know? All we really know is that they were standing outside of Magee’s Pharmacy in Chester. It looks as if they are hanging out just chewing the fat on the sidewalk at the intersection of Old Hundred (Hundred Road then) and Harrowgate roads. New Chester gossip or business discussions; what were they talking about? At the time Hundred Road was a business district just a few blocks long.

The businesses there at the time included a hardware store, a post office, and the first library in Chesterfield County including a grocery and of course, Magee’s Pharmacy.
