Fresh dairy foods

  Clearly, the contents of the back case have moved around over the decades, since dairy products are under the deli sign while juice and refrigerated alcohol is under the dairy sign. I wonder if this store even sold alcohol back in the 80s -- I have no idea what California's liquor laws were like back then, but it seems grocery store liquor sales only became common somewhat later. 

Also, "dairy foods" is a strange phrase! I don't think I've seen that elsewhere. Notice that the S in "foods" is mounted on the vent grate, though most of it is on the actual wall -- enough of it that it has managed to stay put, apparently!
