Post by Society of Apothecaries

🤔 Did you know? Before neon signs and social media ads, Apothecaries used pill tiles outside their shops to signal their trade - hence the holes at the top for hanging them outside. Decorative yet practical, tiles were also used in the preparation of pills and ointments long before modern machinery. That’s how advertising worked back in the day! #FactFriday #SocietyOfApothecaries #History #Facts #Apothecaries #HistoricalFact #CityOfLondon #Livery
