I'm so happy someone else remembers this!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18298017950859740758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8507402023045446823.post-55492034212016690732015-11-24T22:54:39.331-06:002015-11-24T22:54:39.331-06:00I think these might be of the same manufacturer as...I think these might be of the same manufacturer as the ones I played on at Dayton's Department Store in downtown Minneapolis in the late 1960's. The children's drop-in day care center near the women's department on the 5th floor had a an elephant slide nearly identical. The stairs were accessed between the front legs and curved inside the torso to the head where I recall two portals allowed kids to sit and peer out of its ears before sliding down the trunk. I can't remember if Dayton's had other creatures beyond the elephant - at the time my tiny attention span was probably fully consumed by this ingenious contraption. But now I have a reason to road trip to Omaha. Thank you so much for the pix to jump start some very fond memories!PL36https://www.blogger.com/profile/04350224829046218475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8507402023045446823.post-45265544678983208392014-11-12T09:54:25.456-06:002014-11-12T09:54:25.456-06:00Adam,
