Title
English: Santa Claus and "sleigh" in front of the Bon Marché building on Second Avenue and Pike Street, Seattle, circa 1915
Description
English:

The Bon Marché was founded in 1890 by German immigrant Edward Nordhoff and his wife Josephine. Originally located in Seattle's Belltown district at First Avenue and Cedar Street, in 1896 it moved to a more central location downtown at Second Avenue and Pike Street." This photo shows Santa Claus standing atop a wagon in front of the Bon Marché building. Sometime after the Bon's downtown move it advertised itself as the 'The Home of Santa Claus ' Presents for Everyone' as one of a variety of marketing strategies.
