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.

Next-day shipping is fantastic! The wallet is a soft, comfortable, and perfectly sized wallet that fits snugly in my pant pocket. It can hold up to nine cards and an ID, along with two cash compartments. The wallet functions seamlessly without any issues.

Wallet
Pretty nice wallet, good quality and little small if you have a lot of cards or cash, unfortunately there isn’t a I’d holder where it flips down so you have to dig it out of your pocket.

Sleek, Stylish, and Functional
Size: One Size, Color: Black/Neon Yellow
I recently purchased this Calvin Klein wallet, and it absolutely lives up to the brand's reputation for quality and style. The leather is smooth, soft, and has a clean, professional finish. You can tell it’s made from quality materials. Fits easily in my pocket without being bulky, even with multiple cards and some cash. Plenty of card slots, a clear ID window, and a well-designed bill compartment. Everything is easy to access. The CK logo is subtle but classy—not too flashy, just the right touch of elegance.
