I loved Novelty Stores -- a bit of everything in them. What a cute cartoon.

That was simply delightful. The musical choices grand. Thanks for the weekly diversion. I know I need it.

Was a novelty shop the same as a 5 & Dime?

When I was growing up the 5 & Dime (Newberry's) had lots of stuff including goldfish, lipstick, tea towels, underwear and socks, and a luncheon counter. The novelty shop had more gift type items.
