A Timely Talk with Santa 



Hello! Hello, up there! 



Gee! Is this really you? 

 Well, this is Bob. 



Yes, I just thought I'd ask 

 you about that Lord Elgin 

 we picked out for Dad, you 

 know. 



What's that? You've got 

 it all wrapped up and in the 

 sleigh already? That's bully! 



Dad will be tickled to death 

 — he's still lugging around 

 that old turnip he got when 

 he was a boy, and it's about 

 an inch thick — 



And say, Santa — how about 

 me? There's nothing I'd like 

 half so — 



Aw, Betty, keep still a min- 

 ute, cantcha? I just gotta tell 

 him this — 



Hello? Yes, hello, Santa! 



Say, you know I'm getting 

 plenty big enough to own a 

 real he-man's watch myself — 

 the fellows wear 'em a lot 

 younger nowadays — 



How's that? Got one right 

 in front of you — a Streamline! 

 Oh, boy! 



And the tag says what — 

 "For a Very Good Boy"? Say ! 

 Just watch me between now 

 and Christmas!
