TOYLAND OPENS TODAY

Way up yonder in the cold snowy North Pole, Mr. Santa Claus put on his eyeglasses a id looked down—down through the sky, until his eyes lit upon Rappahannock. Then he watched— good little boys and a few naughty ones—and he listened as they told their mothers and daddies what •they wanted for Christmas—and then with a whistle and a hop, he filled his sleigh to the top with toys and good things to eat, and called “Come here, Dancer—”

Giving a twist and a snort, 7 tiny reindeer pranced through the sky as they carried their jolly rider and his toys to Bradford’s Store in Flint Hill.

Today, Thursday, Toyland is •opening in Flint Hill at Bradford’s Store. Now you boys and girls and you too, mom qnd dad, had better hurry to see what Santa left for you. There’s more toys than you’ve ever seen before. Dolls and dishes; banjos and bicycles; games and gloves; these are a few of the things in this wonderland of toys. Shop early and lay away for Christmas.
