Santa's Great General Headquarters,

made this little town the toy center
Of the world
The marvellous toy shops Santa
Claus has established here prove that
for all the war in Europe, there is
going to be no lack OF wonderful new
toys in. the Christmas morning stock
ings.
Ever since the men Of Germany, and
especially of Nuremberg, laid down
their toy-making tools to take up the
tools of death, old st. Nick has been
worried about his annual supply of
playthings for American children.
But this year he moved his head
quarters down from the north pole
and established himself in this quaint
little toy town in Northern Massachu-
sets, at the foot of the wooded slopes
of historic Monadnock mountain.
Literally millions of drums, dolls.
rocking horses, Noah's Ark, sleds and
mechanical tops have been shipped this
year from this Nuremberg of America.
Winchendon is the cradle of Ameri-
can toy making. Morton E. Converse.
one of Santa's largest producers here,
is father of the industry. Nearly half
a century ago he first put Winchendon
on the toy-making map of the world
by establishing tiny factory. Now
his plant employs 500 workers.
AS many as 1000 ten-cent drums
have been shipped from here daily
one worker said. Seven freight cars
of dolls day go out at the height of
the rush. The kiddie horses-the most
popular toy of the season-are being
turned out on an average Of 1000 a
day. More than half the plavthings
made in America are fashioned in this
one small village!"
The first thing one sees as he alights
from the train at Toy Town is a rock
ing horse OF heroic size. 1t is set ur
in little square plot of ground near
the station. 1t is the towns symbol
and guards the gateway to Winchen-
don, the Nuremberg of America.
