    I think that's what this certificate is - a prescription for alcohol for someone in Los Angeles in the 1920s. I'm not positive though as i've never seen one of these before. Any other ideas?

      Yep. Apparently, it was what made Walgreens into the powerhouse business it is today:

      The milkshake made it into the mainstream when in 1922 a Walgreens employee in Chicago, Ivar “Pop” Coulson, took an old-fashioned malted milk (milk, chocolate, and malt) and added two scoops of ice cream, creating a drink which became popular, soon becoming a high-demand drink for young adults around the country.
