DEAR SANTA:
I am a little paper just six months
old. I’ve always tried to be a good
little paper and behave myself. My
daddy is Marshall Field & Co., my
mama is—well, never mind. I don’t
want you to bring me a thing, but
please, dear Santa, remember all of
those who are responsible for my birth
and continued well being. They are
such a nice crowd, even if they are all
big grown-ups, and there are some
things that even grownups need (even
though they are the last to realize they
need them).
My Big Boss, Frank Wilson, is pretty
well fixed. In all the years I’ve known
him I’ve never known him to be mad
about anything. That calls for lots of
self control, so please, Santa, bring him
a big book on “How to Cuss Without
Using Bad Words.’’
John Powell doesn’t need any toys,
either. He plays around in Washing
ton and sees the mechanical toys there.
I think he’d like to have a book, too.
Maybe you’ve got a book called; “How
to Win War Orders and Influence
Politicians’’ for him.
Joe Lindsey is one of our most trav
eled men. I think Joe has moved about
half a dozen times in recent years.
Please bring him a toy moving van so
he can play at moving without actually
doing it.
I don’t know what to bring Bert
Weaver. Bert preaches safety and
practices what he preaches. All work
and no play will make Bert a dull boy
So lor relaxation please bring him that
book: “Seeing New York with a High
Pressure Blonde and a Red Hot Red
head.”
Dick Tuttle likes to play golf (No,
Santa, he doesn’t need help there; he
knows all the right words) and has
other interests, but his time is all tak
en up. So won’t you bring him that
book on “Collective Bargaining in One
Easy Lesson?”
Apparently no one knows Ben Trotter
is deaf, but since he never hears the
