What was the name of toys-r-us, before It changed to this name, all I remember was a picture of a face wearing a red-white & blue tophat, smiling with huge teeth (sign on building) and something about laughing, and anyone know what year this was?

Children's Supermarket is correct which started in 1948. See the link below for the complete history.
The link below not only talks about the history, but also the logo, the mascot, the slogans, etc.
