The King company has bought ten times the number of Erector sets it lald in last year—and expects to run short before Christmas. The other popular toys include wagons, veloci pedes, “scooters” and many other things useful as well as amusing. l Municipal Ticket Is | pr Indorsedinßoston,Ga. | BOSTON, GA., Dec, 12.—The mu—i nicipal administration received a; flattering indorsement In today's pri-| mary.
