JIM: Columbia Merchants Gear up for Christmas, 1927 The Dillon Drug Company enticed Shoppers with a Toy Wonderland. Two doors away, H. Taylor offered boxed men's four-in-hand ties from 50 cents up and noted that H. Taylor was the sales agent for Atwood Kent radios and Thomas Edison Phonographs. C.R. Barger Insurance was more practical, telling newspaper readers that life insurance would be the best Christmas gift a family could get. Grand old mercantile families and businesses are mentioned: Mrs. George Lowe. S.H. Grinstead, Goff Brothers Store, The Royal Cafe, Young-Moore, Morris Epperson & Frances X Merkely, Murray & Jones, Lerman Bros., new to Columbia that year. And more, in this Christmas shopping.

In fact, consumer prices had declined a bit, so those with money had more buying power, and with the tobacco markets just opening, Columbia merchants eagerly sought the Christmas trade. In the December 6th edition of the News, Morrison's meat market offered (oddly enough) candles "suitable for Santa Claus," while a front page card from Russell & Co. (at that time still ensconced in the grand old building on the corner of Jamestown Street and the Public Square), solemnly assured the wee folk, via their parents, that jolly old St. Nick would "be at our store every Saturday until Xmas from 8 to 3 o'clock."
