December 4, 1920. The Holiday Season.

 


The weekly and monthly magazines hit the stands this Saturday, December 4, 1920 with Christmas themes.



Well, most of them anyway.


On the same day, Federal agents and moonshiners fought the first gun battle in Prohibition.  And Argentina became the first nation to withdraw from the League of Nations, upset in regard to its early distinctions between belligerents and non belligerents in the Great War.

The predecessor to the NFL played its first game in New York City, at the Polo Grounds.

The Polo Grounds are called that, of course, as they played polo there.  In another riding sport, fox hunting, a hunt gathered on this day in Washington D. C.

Some people, however were photographed at their occupations on the same Saturday, including. . . 

Lewis Ludlow, a Congressional page, and . . . 


the Vice President's chauffeur.
