Up north where reindeers’ tears be come Icicles before ari eye can be winked, Santa Claus is working over time to produce enough Christmas toys for kidddies of the world. But, right here in Omaha, he has established a branch station, where the toys may be seen even before Christmas. This branch will be opened this morning on the eighth floor of the Brandeis store and E. John Brandeis, who is giving it his personal attention, believes it will be the biggest toy display in this country. To celebrate the opening of this great toy department, there will be a parade through downtown streets this morning at 11. In the parade will be a tiny calliope dsawn by four Shet land ponies from the Thompson pony farm at Dorchester, Neb.; clowns, toy bears, leopards, tigers, lions and regular circus wagons on a small scale. "But, after all, what is the use of a parade unless there is a circus to follow?" reasoned Mr. Brandeis. So there is to be a circus on the eighth floor of the Brandeis store. In the circus will he toy jugglers, ballaneers. posers, a ring master with a whip, lions and Japanese acrobats, nut to mention a slide for life across the en tire floor of the store. From now un til Christmas there will be a parade each day, beginning at 1:30, excepting on Saturdays, when the parade is scheduled to start at 11. The circus will be given each day at regular intervals, with enough toys performing stunts to make it resemble a real, grownup three ringed circus. The floor space covered by the Brandeis toy department is ap proximately 30,000 feet, and this, coupled with the big stock of the newest toys is the basis for Mr. Brandeis’ assertion that the depart ment Is probably the largest and most complete in the country. The life size mechanical toys which perform almost Incredable' acts in the clrcu3 made their debut in Wana maker’s in New York, where the cir cus made a real sensation. Buyers have been busy for a whole year ac cumulating the toys from many na tions which are now on display on the Brandeis store's eighth floor, which, by the way, Is elaborately decorated.
