SANTA CLAUS GIRL
SENDS A HURRY CALL
Must Have 1900 Toys by Sat-
urday Night or Disap-
point Many Riddles

Here 1t Is Monday and the Santa
Claus girl" has to have 1900 toys by
Saturday night!
II she doesn't get them by that time,
an awful lot OF little boys and girls
will get no Christmas presents at all.
For the Santa Claus girl" has been
sending Christmas presents for the last
five years to youngsters who would
otherwise be forgotten.
Her real name was Olive May Wilson,
but now she is married and is Mrs.
Birchall Hammer. Year by year the
presents that she sends out have been
growing in number, thanks to the gen.
erosity of countless people who have a
warm spot in their hearts for children.
and this year she plans to send out pres
ents to no fewer than $4,000 klddies in
all parts Of the United States, She has
already sent out gifts to about $4,000
children in far-away parts Of the coun-
try.
But when "the Santa Claus Girl" we y
downtown today to the wholesale toy
dealers from whom she usually obtains
the toys she sends out. she was told
that the supply was so small that they
had already sold out and that more
could not be obtained until just before
Christmas. She didn't know where to
turn.
The hopes OF all those children who
have written pleading letters to her will
still be furfilled II the people of Phila-
deipha will come to the rescue. The
Santa Claus Girl asks them to go out
into the retail stores, buy as many toys
as possible and send them to her at 515l
Morris street, Germantown. She will at
tend to the packing. Toys costing five
or ten cents apiece will do" says the
Santa Claus Girl, only be sure and get
| them TO me before Saturday night"
