Stores Open Later for Christmas Shopping in 1919

From the December 18, 2019, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois)  "Looking Back."

1919, 100 Years Ago.

"Those who find it inconvenient to shop during the day will now have the opportunity of doing the remainder of their buying in the evenings.

"Beginning yesterday, the stores of the city are open during the early evening hours and folks who are busy during the day will now have an opportunity  to make Christmas purchases."

And to think this wasn't even Black Friday.
