LIFE-LIKE ANIMAL FINE PARIS TOY

EXHIBITED HERE

"Woozum" looks and acts just

like a real cat (a ferocious cat!)

It Is, not really alive though. It Is

just a wonderful toy from Paris.

This toy cat was exhibited In the display window of Ackerraan's

store last week, and always drew

a crowd of Interested children,

and grown-ups as well. He per

formed continually and always

very agreeably for the people who

watched him.

Belongs to Bobby Who Is Just Six "Woozum" is the size of a cat

and has a furry coat which looks

very tiger-like with Its black strip

es. It growls and walks, crouches and springs, as if for prey. The eyes are very bright and lifelike

ana the whiskers are long and aristocratic looking whiskers any cat would be proud of. His head moves very much like a real tiger moves his head when it is following some certain prey. This strango cat Is not alive at all but is a toy cat that lived In a toy shop In Paris before Bobby Acherman's daddy bought It and took it home for Bobby to play with. Bobby who Is six years old, named the new toy "Woozum" and is very, very fond of it. When Bobby and his mother and daddy came to the United States New Jersey In fact to spend a two months vacation (they had been living in London), he brought "Woozum" with him. He loaned it to his grandfather to show the children and people of Richmond but first he made his grandfather promise that "for sure" he would "send it back."

Children of Richmond May See It Saturday Mr. Ackerman has kindly delayed two days in returning this interesting toy to Bobby because he thought that after reading about It In the Junior Palladium some Richmond children might wish to see "Woozum." If there are any children or

juniors who have not yet seen this toy and who would like to see it, Mr. Ackerman has invited them through the Junior Palladium to go to his store and ask to see it Satur

day afternoon or evening, Aug. 20.

last Friday (August 12), didn t you, when the' circus was in town? And, of course, when you put the peanuts In his great long tusk, you thought you were feeding an elephant, didn't you? a very big

elephant? Perhaps you were.

Looking closely at tusko ana nis

companions which really are

elephants, many people see mat

the shape of the head and the eyes and legs are quite diferent in some ways, and then, too, he is much

larger than the elephant. He is a

foot taller than Jumbo, wnicn was,

we believe, the biggest elephant

ever captured. For this reason, many scientific men, when looking at Tusko say, "That looks more like a mastodon than an elephant."
