If s Santa Claus at the Toy Fair at Meier & Frank's You know he only has 6 more days in which to make his plans, and hie himself off to the Cold, Cold North so as to make the run from the North Pole to each boy's and girls' home on Christmas Eve. And these 6 days will surely be the busiest and most exciting, he's: had yet. And the Toy Fair coming on . these last few days has helped to keep him fairly bubbling with things to do and say. But he has been made so happy by the throngs of happy children that have come to the Toy Fair and."Oh'd" and "Ah'd" as he loves to have them do that he is even happier than before. So if you haven't- met him "face to face," children, come to the Toy Fair tomorrow,-and have a nice "comfy" visit with one of your best friends the joyous, smiling, kindly, merry old Chap that we call "Santa Claus." 10 to 1 to Santa Claus Greet All Boy and Girls at - (Basement Annex). 12 mornings 5 afternoons the Toy Fair The Clown and the Laughing, Talking Pony At the Toy Fair 10 to 12 A.
