FAO Schwarz Toy Store Ad

Santa's making air drops of toys for all the good girls and boys! FAO Schwarz ad from the December 1911 issue of McClure's Magazine. I'm trying to imagine what novelties a kid might want for Christmas, but I'm coming up empty.

“The valley was full of noises of running water, and the spatter of the mill-wheel - half words and chuckles by day; sentences and impudent songs by night – and wherever you went, you could not (the children had tried often), hide from an Oak, an Ash, and a Thorn, all three trees together, leaning and whispering and watching.”

Rudyard Kipling, Robin Goodfellow – His Friends
McClure's Magazine, April 1906
