Chinatown - San Francisco Vintage Tee

Wang's Noodle House opened their doors in 1968 and was a San Francisco favorite for years to come because of its authentic Chinese menu as well as its late hours, serving until 4:00 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

These whimsical bottles might once have held the noxious nostrums of the patent medicine trend. Now, they're pretty on a window sill. Patent medicines were hawked in the 17th to 19th centuries, often by travelling salesmen (the real-world counterpart of the Wizard of Oz was a seller of patent medicines). The advertising for these substances formed the beginning of marketing and branding as a science. Called "snake oil salesmen," the purveyors of patent medicines would often attribute their curative powers to the alchemy of the Far East.
