 To our older readers wish good luck and you will have better luck you will carefully read these Santa Claus letters and then the advertisements of the progressive merchants which appear in this issue and go trade with them Your children could not have received this fine had their letters published had these merchants given their advertisements, for these very expensive and had to hire help and paper costs than double what it did last year. If you read these ads you will find just what you have have and there lis a firm advertising in it who will price their goods tight and treat you fairly and squarely Some of the Santa Claus letters may fail to appear in this issue but they will be published ater
