A Note From The Review:
December 11,1924
"Nothing is the the Daily today except Santa Claus
letters" we heard a fellow say who doesn't pay a five cent
piece for the sheet but reads it regulalry. This man did not stop
to consider that he was once a small boy and enjoyed the thrills
that go with seeing your name in the paper sighned to a Santa
Claus letter. The Review prizes this feature of the paper highly
and shall continue to print the letters until Old Santa arrives.
Just put your boys and girls down to reading them and you will
have a fine example of someone enjoying the Daily Review. The
next old geezer that kicks at these letters we are going to look
back in the thirty-year files and print his letter.
