Christmas Traditions in the Southern Nebraska Panhandle
Telegraph’s Christmas retrospective recalls local rites from 1878 to 1945. It highlights Oberfelder’s Holiday Underwear, Masonic Hall openings, hot chocolate at Dawson’s, winter skating, and a 1945 salvage drive urged by the WPB. The piece lists towns like Dawson, Grand Prairie, North Divide, and Potter with era events and ads for Central Market and Zwickle’s Grocerteria.
