Czernowitzers...
Christmas is almost here and the Czernowitz newspaper "Der Tag - The Day" changes into an advertising journal, normally of no interest, but in retrospect to the year 1932, at the height of the Great Depression, quite thrilling. "Today" [i.e. 15.12.1932] "Der Tag - The Day" [http://czernowitzdaily.blogspot.com/] is starting a "Shopwindow Competition in Czernowitz", releasing a series of articles for the next four days:
