'This is a picture of James Edgar with a background photo (illustration) of Santa Claus. This picture is the cover of a brochure created by historian Robert A. Kane of Brockton, which describes the life of James Edgar and how he became America's first department store Santa in 1890. Mr. Kane was responsible for my curiousity about James Edgar which led me on a 40-year journey researching the life of James Edgar and the relevance and accuracy of his becoming America's first department store Santa in 1890.
