A Wisconsin Ping if you missed this in Sunday's paper.
Interesting article. The world has always been at odds with the Spirit of Christmas (Jesus Christ). Thanks for a good post.
I remember hearing the names of most of the 1898 stores from my Grandma (Gimbels, of course, was still around when I lived in Milwaukee).
I do want one of these, although I think the dog would never be the same:
Espenhain's, another downtown department store, sold "Genuine Mountain Lion Rugs, full head, open mouth, value $35, a handsome present, at $22.50."
Ping from a snowy state.
