http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122580369

Strawbridge & Clothier marketed this children's game to encourage the habit of department store shopping. Players used a spinner to determine how many spaces to move their tokens on a turn. The first player to complete a circuit of the board went to toyland. Game instructions are on the back of the board. The structure of the board resembles a Parcheesi board. Illustrations replicate various departments and merchandise available at Strawbridge & Clothier. The store exterior is depicted in the center of the board. Children dressed in a variety of types of clothing illustrate early 20th century fashion.
