Chrome postcard showing Webb's City in St. Petersburg, Florida. This postcard was published by Ward Beckett & Co. of Clearwater, FL. Webb's City advertised itself as "The World's Most Unusual Drug Store". It covered 5 city blocks and included 67 stores in downtown St. Petersburg. Webb's had a gift shop, hardware store, meat market, beauty salon, travel agency, clothing departments, cafeteria, multiple coffee shops and soda fountains and of course, a drugstore. The store first opened in the mid 1920s and closed for good in 1979.
