What are you giving your loved ones this holiday season?
In 1948 you could have given them a subscription to the Canadian Statesman for only $2.50, a practical gift that would have served them year round.
In the 19th century it was common for children to get 2 presents, one small toy and one more practical item that would be put to good use throughout the year such as clothes or shoes.
