row Thursday. Open until $50
o'clock.
The Detroit times., 1916-11-15

This new home for toys, in the Ii
brary Avenue Annex, was decided upon
for two reasons.
FIRST Because we can now have
toy store as complete and spacious as
any in America
SECOND Because removing the
toy store to the new Annex relieves the
congestion during the holiday rush and

home Pretty soon carpenters and
bricklaycrS and whole lot of people be
gan busting aro1nd in the big, empty
building. They fixed it all up fine, just
as Old Santa had told them in the note
he had left pinned on the front door.
And when it was all finished, Old
Santa Claus began bringing down the
toys. He had his reindeers flying back
and forth all night long for many
nights until they were all out of breath,
and the loads kept getting bigger and
bigger Pretty soon it was all filled up,
and, oh. what a place. Well, it is simply
the biggest and bestest that ever was.
Thousands and thousands Of dolls
and games, and railroad trains and eX-
press wagons and fire engines and
carts and dogs and rabbits AND
EVERYTHING G. A WORLD OF
THINGS.
And, OH there will be but, no, chill
dren, we mustn't tell all of the secrets.
You will see when you get here the
lovely surprises that Old Santa has pre-
pared for you.
And this great, this wonderful, this
biggest Of all the toy stores will be open
tomorrow Thursday and all the little
folks are invited to be here and to bring
their parents.
Santa Claus, himself, and one of his
most comical clowns will be here to well
come you.
Now, children dear, look at the big
picture Of Santa Claus on this page. Do
you see the way he is standing? And
where his new toy-store is?
You go from the Hudson Store di-
rectly across the Public Library
grounds to the store on the opposite
side Of Library Avenue, only step, and
THERE YOU ARE, in this wonderful
new home of Santa Claus.

LISTEN, CHILDREN. ana let your
eyes grow big and round while we tell
YOU wonderful story
Away last summer Old Kris Krin-
gle was out on trip to see about his
plans for Christmas.
He spent one whole night looking IN
to all the homes where there are chill
dren. because he wanted to see which
were the good little boys and girls and
which were the bad.
You see, he begins making up his
Christmas pack quite early and he
wants to find out just how many pres
ents to put in So he peeped into every
house. oh, so quietly, just like mouse.
Then he went back to the North
Pole and put all his fairy helpers at
work making the most wonderful toys
vou ever saw. Such wonderful, Won
lerful things. Well, children, really
you just can't imagine what they are
like.
And do you know why he is having
them made so wonderful?
Well well tell you. It is because
he found that the little boys and girls
Of Detroit were just the best little boys
and girls in all the world, and so he de
cided to make their Christmas this year
the most joyful of any they have ever
known.
And then, what do you think he did,
children? He took his fastest team Of
reindeers and made a flying trip one
moonlight night straight down from
the North Pole and to the Hudson
Store. The watchman let him in at II
o'clock in the middle Of the night, and
that little fat. jolly Old Santa Claus
went up to where ne had his toys for the
children to see last Christmas up on
the seventh floor and he looked al
around Then he shook his head until
his white whiskers looked like a snow
storm and said, right out loud: mo,
this will never do; must have a much
bigger place than this"
Then he went out and walked round
until he came to a nice big empty build
ing across the street on Library Ave
