From the August 18, 2016 Shorpy.
MACKEY'S CREAMERY, 1943: June 7, 1943 Restaurant soda fountain, Sausalito, California. There are cigarette butts all over the floor, some of the men are reading newspapers and one guys seems mesmerized by his cell phone (Not, though). I didn't see a single ash tray in the photo, but figure they could have used some. Maybe the waitresses were grossed out by the butts.
There is a sign that reads: "Due to Coca-Cola rationing we are compelled at times to substitute other colas."
There are spring-loaded hat holders on the backs of the seats
Comments: Located at 639 Bridgeway Blvd., Sausalito.
Advertising for Mackey's Creamery: "Donuts Made Fresh 3 Times Daily. Plain. per dozen -- 25 cents. frosted, per dozen -- 30 cents. 639 Bridgeway. Phone: Sausalito 59."
Butts All Over the Place. --GreGen
The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
