Brett’s Pharmacy
Brett’s Pharmacy (fl. c. 1910 - 1923) was a pharmacy in Yokohama, Japan. They specialized in ‘American, English, and French medicines, perfumes, and toilet requisites suited to the needs of travelers.’ An American soda fountain was located there as well. Tourists could also get prescriptions filled at Brett’s by ‘expert chemists’ trained in England. Located at 60 Main Street, an advertisement stated that ‘we carry what you want, and do not stock second-grade or spurious goods. Our aim is to give you what you wish, and not to palm off something ‘just as good.’’
