DIRIGIABE BALLOON
IS A CLOSE SECOND

Have a brand new aeroplane for
quarter-:in Antoinette, or a Wright,
or a Bleriot, Orwell, any old kind,
and a few that you never heard of be-
fore? Well, it easy Any boy or
girl can become an aeronaut-that is,
proprietor Of a plane-by just asking
Sada Claus. And poor old Santa, the
muC sought, money drained old
Santa, can make good and live up to
his proverbial rep" of never failing
to bring the right thing, and he can
do it at the cost of twenty-five cents.
Take notice, Santas and children.
The stores. this year are packed
with toys-toys of every description,
old toys and new toys, small toys and
big toys, but oveFtopping all the rest

the aeroplane It's the real dope for
Santa Claus this Christmas.
And there's no bluff about these toy
store aeroplanes either. They are the
real thing, and they'll aero to per-
fection. But the beauty about them
from Santa Claus viewpoint is that
they're cheap. Also they're expensive
if you want them to be, and they run
in dozen different styles and grades
from 25 cents to $25.
The aeroplane is not a novelty IN
the toy shops. 1t flew into prominence
at a leap last season, but the really
