SANTA'S SURPRISE

Just in time for Christmas, here's a little story from the Woodward & Lothrop Toy Department circa 1947.  Woody's, as it was known, was one of Washington D.C.'s best known department stores -- alas, no longer with us.

Join the unfinished toys in the quest to help Santa and to save Christmas.

The book was written and illustrated by Oskar Lebeck, who was instrumental in establishing Dell Comics.  It was printed by K. K. Publications, Inc. of Poughkeepsie, New York.  I assume the book was sold as a Christmas promotion to various retailers, including Woodward & Lothrop.

Enjoy.

  1. Too bad the link only shows the cover, then when next page is clicked goes to downloads and ads. I'll take your word it's a cute story.

    1. Hmm. Not sure what the problem is. I'll see if I can fix it.
