Bargains ahead: Santa’s clearing the shelves…

Look at all the toys that were on sale in the final days before Christmas — “at all three [Sanger’s] stores: downtown, Highland Park and Preston Road.” Need a “Ricky, Jr. doll”? A kiddie Geiger counter? A two-foot-tall Donald Duck toy dressed as Davy Crockett? Look no further — Sanger’s has it. (Click ad to see a larger image and take a walk down Childhood Toy Memory Lane.)

“A two-foot-tall Donald Duck toy dressed as Davy Crockett?” This would be in the category of sentences one never thought one would hear. Merry Xmas Paula!

Those were some fairly expensive toys. $1 in today’s dollars is equal to $8.94!
