Where Massachusetts Avenue meets Mount Auburn Street there are several stores. There is nothing very remarkable about this location, which is somewhere between Harry's Arcade and Hyman Pill's hardware store. That is, there is nothing remarkable about it at the present time. For but a few short months ago an unusual store was opened at that location. The store was "The X-Mas Outlet." It was a very nice store even if the idea of cut-rate Christmas has certain sentimental drawbacks. There were shiny cars and golden-haired dolls and smiling, happy salesmen. All this joy was, of course, to be fleeting. The foreshadowing of doom was a bold sign that stood in the front window, "EVERY DAY IS CHRISTMAS WITH US." The store is, of course, no more.
