Description
Shown in this circa 1970 postcard is a Christmas display created by Breuner's Furniture, a century-long furniture interest in Sacramento. The displays were started in 1934, but suspended in 1972 with the closure of the Breuner's downtown location. Figures were animated by behind-the-scenes pullies. After 1953, however, each was fitted with an internal sewing machine engine.
