him so much it is wonder he want

Johnny wanted to take anything
more.
Johnny got a different sort OF

You Need a Pilot
&s3AG

Every good ship, nearing port, takes
on pilot. Usually, the LAW requires it.
The pilot knows the channel. With his
capable hands at the helm, the vessels
safe. Without him, there is danger OF
the shoals.
When you set sail on a shopping tour
you, too, should have pilot. Every
body needs one. And well-infOrmed
shoppers always have one ADVER-
TISING.
Advertising keeps you off the rocks of
extravaganza and waste. 1t takes you
straight into the port of economy. It
tells you plainly where to go for what
you want. 1t shows you how to save
steps, and money, and time. By watch
ing it carefully each day, you are able
to buy to best advantage.
Often, the advertisements will keep
you from making an unwise purchase
by pointing out just why one article
suits you better than another It points
out for you the pick of the country's
market and the selection of the par
ticular kind, shape, size and color that
best suits your taste and fits your
pocket book. @
Whether you want food, clothing, fur
niture or toy for the children, the ad-
yertisements can help you.

CHICAGO, December 9-The make
believe world in Chicago's Loop has
crossed the boundaries Of the big toy
departments this Christmas season and
invaded busy State street.
From one end of the Loop to the
other this great shopping center has
been transformed into a street of fam
tasy. Seventy giant figures adorn the
tall lamp posts. There Is not Santa
Claus in the lot, but each of the car
nivalesque figures is designed to stir
the imagination of children.
And, in anticipation of the young
sters' questions, each figure has been
named and parents supplied with fables
about them.
The four Laugh brothers, Hearty,
Loud, Happy and Long, who were al
ways gay, always playing jokes and
who had a dog named Giggles, are
shown as they were dressed in comic
costumes to visit their friends on
Christmas.
Big Ben and Little Leo, two strong
men in the circus, are there, with Lit
tie Leo standing on Big Ben's shoulders
Just as he did in the circus.
There's Crooner, the saxophone play
er, with his mouth open as If he were
still singing soft love tunes. The
legend is that he knows more Christ
mas carols than any one else in the
world.
Zoo Skyscraper is a poor giraffe who
thought he was taller than any build
ing in the world until he was disil-
lusioned by little sparrow that had
been places and seen things.
Derby Dan, a tiny fellow who had
never been able to see parades and cir
Gus wagons, is perched on top OF a
light post, far above the crowds of
Christmas shoppers, where the view Is
