LETTERS TO 1 SANTA 1 M By STAFF WRITER J 1 dear santa, i snuk up behind Walt mcNeely a few days ago putting a nickel in one of those things he brags about not having in front of his store at Lake Toxaway — a park ing meter — and I noticed he was awfully drqssed up. i asked him tiow he managed to eat so high tip on the hog and by way of ex planation he handed me a letter. the letter was from a manufac turer of diapers in New england. the writer said he had heard of wait’s fame as a baby expert as a result of his experience tending to them while their mothers shop ped in his store and was eager to t;ash in on it by marketing his sfirst line of diapers under wait’s name, he proposed to call them '‘'Walt’s Ducky Didies” and to use the slogan “They soothe tender -bunkies,” in return for which the manufacturer would allow him a royalty of 27 cents on each of the 700,000 dozen of diapers this grade he produced monthly. “That ain’t hay,” wait remarked as i handed the letter back to him, “but that’s only part of the story.” He fished in his pocket and shov ed another letter at me. this letter came from a patent attorney in Washington and I gathered from it that wait had in vented a gadget which, when at tached to a diaper, gave the signal when a baby performs as all ol them will at times. “No more furtive feeling, nc more suspicious sniffing,”, wait re juiced, this attachment gives a sig nal telling the exact instant its time to replace the diaper. i remarked to wait that all in ventions had first to be tested, “i’d thought about that,” he re plied, “and have given it the most severe test possible among the sprouting population of Boheny ” wait estimated he could have these gadgets manufactured in large lots for 26 cents each and he figured they could be sold at whole sale for $9.27 a dozen, which he said he considered a fair profit. take these two things together —the, “Ducky Didies” and the gad get—and they are likely to alter the course of history.” wait declar ed. “As you know,” he continued, “large numbers of people in the world wear no clothes. Well, we are going to put diapers with the gadget attached on their babies, and that will mean that in the years to come they will want other things civilized men have. In time, you may get a few subscribers to the times in regions where it has never penetrated before. And, in cidentally. it seems like 1 am bound to become one of these here ‘economic royalists’ ”.
