Santa Claus is down in his cave at Hooker and Kingston’s until 10 p.m. tonight and wants to see every little girl and boy and their parents too and to wish them a Happy Christmas and an enjoyable New Year. We take this opportunity of thanking our many customers for their patronage during the past 12 months and wish them one and all a very merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year. May the New Year bring with it peace and happiness to everyone and victory to our great Empire.—Hooker and Kingston Limited.**
