1963 O’Neil Sheffield Center Holiday Display Featuring Dennis the Menace

Many people have fond memories of going Christmas shopping in Downtown Cleveland and enjoying the various window displays in the department stores.

Well, the O’Neil Sheffield Center was not to be outdone during the 1963 Christmas season.

The article below, which appeared in the Lorain Journal on December 13, 1963, describes the special animated window scenes that the O’Neil store featured that Christmas. The displays starred famous comic strip icon Dennis the Menace, as well as his parents, his dog Ruff and "good old Mr. Wilson.”

Journal Staff Writer Lou Kepler wrote the story. The window scenes sound really cute.

I did a post about the first appearance of Dennis the Menace in the Lorain Journal in 1955 back here.

    Dennis the Menace along with Leave It To Beaver are classic wholesome good old fashioned Americana TV at its finest.I don't think 50-60 some odd years from now that someone will be talking about whatever tv show is hot now.As the garbage that is on now is just that,garbage....Dennis had that young innocent look on his face that meant everything was an adventure.
