i All n..* ; A™"* l PJ Town | / I Milford, Ind. •uuiiituiuimiuuiauiaiuuiuitmuiami** By JERI SEELY Well, what do you think of Milford’s new Christmas wrapping? We like it. Board members Carl Duncan and John F. Augsburger went to Marion after them on Tuesday and they were up by Wednesday and the lights were turned on last Thursday. Mr. Duncan, president of the board, assisted with the installation of the lights. He ran the electric shop in Our Town at one time. Things are beginning to look a lot like Christmas with more and more Christmas trees being put up—it even snowed this week. I’m still looking for Santa and have been told he will be in Our Town this week end with treats for the younger set. We always thought Christmas clubs were part of modern-day banking, but the Miles and Higbee bank had an advertisement in the December 19, 1918, issue of The Milford Mail. They were urging patrons to join their Christmas club, Found five letters to Santa in the old paper, so thought we would pass them on to you. They follow: “I am a little girl 6 years old. As Christmas time is almost here thought I had better tell you what 1 would like you to bring me. Please bring me a big doll with bobbed hair, sleeping eyes and about 22 or 24 inches high and some candy that is all. I am your little friend—Gladys Belle Oster.” “I don’t want much this year because I know you must help the Belgum children. All I want is an engine that goes by itself and an automobile that has a crank on, a dinner pail for mine is a little bit to small, a sled, oranges, bananas, nuts and some candy. Please remember me. Your friend —Eli.”

"1 am a little girl eight years old. I want a doll and a pair of stockings and brown tcp shoes for Christmas. Please remember me. From your little friend—Henrietta Wawrzyniah.” “Please bring me a box of handkerchiefs for school, a game of Lotto, an organ and stove and two arms and body for my dolly. Also please bring my brother the games of parchese and rummy. Wishing you lots of good luck on your journey this year. I am your little friend —Clara Overleese.” “I am six years old and in the first grade of school. 1 will tell you what I want for Christmas. I want a pair of rubber boots. I live on south Main street in the last house. Yours truley—Ernest Wayne Wenger.” Can you feature a letter to Santa today where the youngster asked for a doll and candy, a dinner pail, shoes, arms and a body for her cld dolly or a pair of rubber boots?
