As Social Media takes over the retail store market, these ‘After-Christmas’ sales are vanishing.
Maas Brothers sure has. This Tampa-native store was victim of consolidation as Burdines, of Miami, swallowed it and then New York’s Macy’s swallowed Burdines.
This advertisement is from the December 26th, 1958 edition of the Lakeland Ledger.

Walter Powell, daughter and friend at Smith’s Stemper Store in Land O’Lakes in the 1920s.
This photo is from Elizabeth & Susan MacManus’ ‘Going, Going…Almost Gone’, 2012. Author MacManus points out that folks then, as now, would get baby critters as pets not realizing that they would get much larger.
Unfortunately this book is not available.
This book is part of the Swampy’s Florida library.
