Santas at the Major Philly Department Stores - Inquirer 15 December 1931



WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SANTA CLAUS APPEARS IN THE TOY DEPARTMENTS

Jolly Old St. Nicholas, who seems to have the power to be in many different places at one time, is always sure to have an army of admiring boys and girls about him at each one of his reservations in Philadelphia department stores.
 (1) Santa Claus, with Galen Dickman on his lap, is seen shaking hands with Jeanne Symes at Wanamaker's. 
(2) A visit to Strawbridge & Clothier finds Santa in away. He is seen showing a toy racer to Gus Harff, Peggy Sand and Robert Sand. 
(3) At Gimbels Santa Claus is right on hand to show the wonders of his toyland to all the juvenile Christmas tourists. 
(4) Santa is also enthroned at Sears, Roebuck & Company. You see him, with his favorite jester by his side, as he hears Christmas requests from some of his little followers. 
(5) Santa Claus is seen at Snellenburg's getting acquainted with an eager line-up of youngsters. 
(6) At Lit Brothers we see "Toby," one of Santa's clowns, demonstrating a stuffed doggie for John Deghetto.
