AQueerOld
LOndOnStreet

Has been built, up on the Third
Floor, Market street side-a wide
ish, narrow-ish, twisty street, with
funny old shops on either side, and
one shop that is in the middle of
the street through perversest oddly
of all.
Well, all those shops are stores
for the selling of Christmas goods,
stores holding funny old goods and
modern goods, too, shown and sold
amid funny surroundings.
Queer, quaint, interesting.
But the goods are Wanamaker
goods, sold really in the usual safe
Wanamaker way, very different
from the old way-same in prices;
same every way as the regular
stocks here, except for their strange
surroundings. The idea is really
decoratiVe-a holiday unusualness.
Sixteen selling places along this
street.
