In those days the department stores were locally owned and those owners lived in the community.
There was always a little less than friendly competition for each store to outshine their competition.
It was the same with many locally owned factories and businesses when it came to donating to various causes, many of our parks, streets, and buildings still bear their names.

The first Christmas cards were sold in America in 1847, although Hallmark didn’t sell its first Christmas cards until 1915. Even though the Internet has led to a decrease in snail mail, Christmas remains the biggest card-sending holiday in America. Around 1.2 billion cards are sent each year. This photo was taken in the 1910s when postcards temporarily overtook cards with envelopes in popularity.
