Opening program of James Edgar Company, 1907

Title:: Opening program of James Edgar Company, 1907
Description:: 'The photo is the cover page of the James Edgar Company opening day program in 1907 with James Edgar on the cover. Christmas has always been a special time of year because of our mother Alyce Reizian Merian. When I found out about James Edgar, a Brocktonian who became America's first department store Santa, I needed to bring his story to life. I have spent my entire adult life spreading his story, including a Christmas parade, stories, pictures, and soon to be released book. For more information, visit www.usachristmastown.com or www.1stdepartmentstoresanta.com. Pictured: Edgar, James. Location: 215 Main Street.'
