By
browsing through historical issues of the Sandusky
Register, we can determine some of the popular gifts that were advertised
to area residents in 1915. Mr. Bamberger carried winter scarves and
hats at The Avenue Store on Columbus Avenue.
C.V. Baumgardner advertised pianos, while J.H. carried a wide
variety of “talking machines.”
The Manhattan store sold suits, overcoats, and other men’s
clothing.
Scheurer’s advertisement pictured toys, so that children could look at the
newspaper and select a gift.
The
Herb and Myers suggested that local residents purchase the unexpected gift of
furniture as a Christmas present.
According
to the December 17, 1915 issue of the Sandusky
Register, many local stores planned to close by 6:00 p.m. on December 24,
to allow the employees time off to spend with their families for the holiday.
Several organizations proposed the early store closings, including the Business
Girls Association, officers of the Trades and Labor Assembly, and every
clergyman in the immediate area.
