Santa Claus will arrive in town at
2 o’clock on Saturday afternoon, according to
word received from the North Pole by the Wing;
ham Business Association. Every child in Wing=
ham and the surrounding district is invited to
be on hand for the parade which the business
men are planning in his honor.
The old gentleman will arrive from the
North Pole on the 2.05 train, and it is expected
that many of the youngsters of the district will
be at the CNR station to welcome him. Follow-
ing the welcome there, Santa will climb into a
specially prepared sleigh for a grand parade
down Josephine Street. The parade will be down
Josephine Street, left on Victoria and back along
Diagonal Road.
A special area will be fenced off on
John Street, between Edward and Josephine
Streets, where every child will have an oppor
tunity to talk to Santa and tell him what they
want for Christmas. He’ll have his great bag of
goodies with him, and every child who meets him
will receive a bagful.
After the meeting with Santa Claus, child
ren are invited by the Business Association to a
free show especially for them, at the Lyceum
Theatre. There will be cartoons appealing es
pecially to the kiddies, and Alton Adams, general
proprietor of the Lyceum, will see that they're
well taken care of for at least one half hour.

This week’s issue of The Advance=Times
contains a large number of advertisements which
comprise a complete guide to Christmas purchase
es in Wingham.
Santa’s visit to Wingham has been spon=
sored by the Business Association with a two=
fold purpose in mind. First and foremost, of
course, the businessmen of Wingham want to
give all the children of town and district a real
treat. Secondly, they want to prove to the people
of the district that Wingham is the best place to
do their Christmas shopping.
Our local merchants know their customers
and their customers know from whom they buy.
There is no guesswork about the reputation or
honesty of the local retailer* He simply can’t
afford to give you anything less than full value
for your money.
No merchant wants you to spend more
than you plan to, or can afford. All of the
businessmen, however, would like to show you
their wares and invite you to buy your gifts in
Wingham/.
