He said that in all his traveling he had never tasted such extraordinarily delicious nuts. His appreciation was convincingly expressed when for Christmas, 1926, he instructed Billy Boy to send the choicest assortment in the most artistic arrangement to a list comprised mostly of U. S. senators, officials of the Judicial Department, Washington, D. C., and other notables. These Christmas gifts brought such enthusiastic responses that the same procedure to about the same list of names was repeated in 1927.- And now, for the third successive Christmas, much to the gratification of Billy Boy, this same gentleman writes in part as follows: December 10, 1928 Dear Billy Boy: I am truly glad to write you again about such a product as yours, for it meets with un- usual favor and enthusiasm. Won't you be good enough to ship me, etc. Thanking you in advance for your atten- tion to my order and desiring to express my belief that you will continue to grow and prosper with the wonderful Billy Boy product and enjoy a tremendous holiday business, I am Sincerely yours, Why not use Billy Boys for your Christmas list? They please, they happify, you'll be glad you gave Billy Boys. GIVE THE UNUSUAL from BILLY BOY NUT KITCHEN PuHoNE GREeNLEAF 3006 touched by it; as he saw his Christmas Present and was stirred to regret by it; as he saw his Christmas To-Come and was frightened by its revelations, so the lesson of the beautiful play came home to all the listeners. Scrooge was played most satisfac- torily by Donald Morrison, and the same can be said of every single one on the program. The settings were delightful in their simplicity and effiec- tiveness, and the final scene with the snow falling swiftly on the Christmas tree with its star was beautiful. To the great regret of the adults, the lovely Christmas carols were only faintly heard because of the noisy children. But the dancing at Fezzi- wigs was the best ever and went off with great spirit. The costuming was most artistically done and caught the very fashion of the old Cruikshank il- lustrations in the earlier editions of Dickens' books. Again thanks for this Christmas gift and to little Ruth Poff, who did all the posters used on the various bulletin boards. It is hoped that Mrs. Mer- ritt Lum and all the cast may indeed have a merry Christmas, with: the memory of having carried through a beautiful Christmas tradition.
