Four more days of mystery. Then--Christmas-- Today's brighter weather brought the crowds out bent on making the dash up the home-stretch on Christ- mas Eve a bit less spectacular, Youngsters today had long lists for Santa Clans, letters written at their leisure on Sunday or during the heavy rain on Monday. And they were very solicitous, too, lest the old fellow should gatch the "flu," get hurt inspecting the chim- neys, or otherwise incapacitated for his Monday night visit to the homes where children are. "Christmas trade is brisk today"-- so the merchants say, and if the merchants say so, it must be so. Grocery stores were dealing out fruit, candies and nuts, And the careful housewife asking the price of the turkey, And, after all, what is Christmas without a turkey-- Or a plum pudding. - Gleaming silver, dainty china and brassware in interesting new lines, found a ready sale for Christmas gifts. ? 5 Smoking sets, sewing tables, bridge novelties and treasures from all around the world,--all these in the famous stores of Oshawa--were in demand. : Evening frocks are in demand as gifts, and fur coats for milady are being largely bought, : ; Skates, sleds, jewelry, toilet artic- les-- There is something for every taste in the stocks of the city shops. Toyland is the mecca for young and old--Here the citizenry are rep- resented by the noble matron of 5 and the sturdy hope of the family at the age of two or three, . Oshawa stores are hives of buzzing industry and a greater rush'is ex- pected before old Santa packs up his treasures to depart again for the far northland. THREE IMPORTANT CONVENTIONS FOR TORONTO PLANNED Toronto, Dec. 19.--Conventions of three important oganizations will be held in Toronto on October 21 to 26, 1929, International Asso- ciation of Milk Dealers, Interna- tional Association of Ice Cream Manufacturers and International Association of Dairy and Ice Cream Machinery and Supplies Association, The three big kindred groups will meet at the same time, as they m- variably do, their interests inter- locking in a somewhat intimate way and it will be in the nature of a joint triple convention. In connection with the gathering which it is estimated may be at- tended by more than 5,000 people the Machinery and Supplies Assoc- ation will put on an exhibition of machinery in the coliseum, and plans are under way to make it the largest machinery trade show on the continent of North America. It is expected that the machinery ex- hibits will be so pumerous that every available foot of space in the was liseum, large as fit is, will be Buy Your Christmas Gifts Now A wonderful selection to pick from. 84 Simcoe St. S. Oshawa FASHION SHOPPE occupied by machinery. The triple convention and the machinery exhibition, it is expect- ed, will draw people specially in- terested therein from various points in the United States and Canada.
