Not much information but I do have a question. What is a 5 & 10 Bar. The reason I ask-- Bradley's on Fillmore replaced a Woolworth and was followed by a National Dollar store. The stores on Mason and Cole were listed in the Yellow Pages under "Cocktail Lounges".

What gives?

Thanks for your help.

There are two advertising postcards which I would date from sometime in the late 30's that show Bradley's 5 & 10 on Fillmore Street. It supposedly had the longest bar in San Francisco, and that is what is pictured on the one card. The other card is really pretty nifty. it shows two bartenders at Bradley's and is titled the world's shortest and tallest bartenders. Both cards are somewhat scarce, but do turn up now and then.

Carl,

I have a copy of their menu from the late 1930's.
