Beginning mid-November and con tinuing until Christmas Eve, solid Railways Express cars will leave bur Plant, loaded with cheer and happi ness . . . Santa Claus on his way to gladden the hearts and homes of thousands of people. Packing and building these beautiful packages is an art like decorat ing or flower arrangement, in which so many are interested. It requires artistic and expert care in placing the fruit so it will make the most beautiful and eye-appealing ensemble. In addition to packing baskets, and trays, we require many to make the thousands of big red and green bows, assembling materials for our Forest Pine Clusters, and packing the thousands of Gift and DeLuxe Boxes of Pears. An avalanche of orders pour in with each mail. To fulfill the role of Santa Claus on such a gigantic scale requires help and lots of it, and so in addition to our present large and busy staff we still need HUNDREDS of both men and women to work between now and Christmas Eve. We also need between 40 and 50 men and women for the large Railway Express Office housed in our Plant. Join a class tomorrow Each day new classes in Fruit Basket and Fruit Tray arrangement are being formed under expert instructors.
