"By 1885 the lower floors of No. 24 had been converted to the toy store of Scharles Bros. Playthings for girls born into privilege were, in fact, often designed to prepare them for their roles in society. The Real Estate Record & Builders' Guide mentioned some of the toys available at Scharles Bros. as Christmas approached that year: "There are sets of dishes in boxes tastefully decorated, toilette sets of fine French china, table linen, with cloth napkins and doileys, all bordered, fringed and folded, similar to those used by grown-up housekeeper...and baskets with complete sets of knives forks and spoons are among the house-keeping toys that please girls. The present doll of the period is a singing doll, in addition to former accomplishments of driving, walking and playing on the piano; the various wardrobes are complete with every article a modern society doll would require--Saratoga trunks for travelling, satchels complete in three inches of alligator skin, writing desks filled for Miss Dolly's correspondence and invitations to 5-o'clock teas." Scharles Bros. was in the building at least through 1892. The store moved three doors west to No. 30 by 1894. In the meantime, Martin J. Pendergast shared the building, operating his printing and stationery store upstairs. The invitations, calling cards, menu cards and other items socialites had learned about as little girls through their expensive dolls were available here. " SATISFACTION GUARENTEED, NO WORRIES.
