Christmas week on Onondaga (Main) Street in 1895. Adam's Grocery at left advertised "fancy" foods, "crockery & glassware". Tilden's further down on left offered men's two-piece suits for $4.00. Grove's had "mufflers, mittens, & fascinators" on sale. Judisch Drug boasted "Ames Most Importandt Display". Paving, street lights, and autos still had not arrived on Main Street. That week bobsleds awaited an anticipated snow. (See also: 5.23C.3; 11.50.5-6; 12.55.1-2)
