SANTA CLAUS VISITS
BOSTON STORE employees
Every Worker in Big Establish
ment Gets Weeks Pay as
Christmas Present

Employees of tho Boston store re
ccivCd an advance visit from Santa
Claus yesterday afternoon. Instead of
making his provcrbial entrance through
the chimney the jolly old saint popped
right out of the cash box, and his gifts.
instead of being i'm stockings, were in
less romantic but more practical yel-
low envelopes.
Every man and woman, boy and
81 / who has been on the payroll at
this store within the past two weeks
received not only the salary which was
his due but an equal amount added
to that as a Christmas gift from the
management of the store. This diStrl-
button of gifts took place at 3 o'clock,
a consideration doubly welcome to
everyone in the store as the usual pay
day is Monday afternoon.
Tho custom Of giving each CmploNo
one weeks pay as a Christmas gift
has been established in this store for
about five years and as the payroll this
year numbers 6O0 names the amount
distributed in this manner is large.
I. 4. Lashbrook. looking a joViai and
good d-naturcd substitute for Santa
Claus. measured up little stacks of gold
and silver on his desk and appOrtioued
il to the various envelopes, but when
asked as to the amount of money this
custom had cost the firm declined to
be quoted. Estimating the average
weekly wage at $40 the money given
away yesterday would amount to $4,000.
This probably is low average. since
many of the buyers for this firm are
among the highest priced men and
women of the city.
