Christmas Shopping 90 Years Ago.
This is a 1922 advertisement in The American Magazine (1904-1956), from the Ingersoll Watch Company wanting you to give a Christmas gift of their line of dollar watches, that will be ticking Christmas Greetings next July - next September and so on through years to come.
The opposite side is an advertisement from the Farm & Fireside (1878-1929, 1930 named changed to Country Home until 1939), The National Farm Magazine, encouraging merchants to engage in "Group Selling" through their magazine.
