Wanamaker’s, most of it passed over the toy department
ETA: that’s according to my mom. I was looking through an old photo album and saw a photo of her and my uncle. They both look very happy, my uncle is pointing down at something.
Apparently we had relatives there and before Christmas they always visited and went to Wanamaker’s. Mom said it was the highlight of the trip (as kids), all the newest toys and you got to ride a monorail. After that they went to the restaurant and had a ‘snowball’ which was vanilla ice cream, rolled in coconut, with a plastic sprig of holly on top.
My childhood did not involve monorails and it shows
