You don't believe in Santa Claus? Why not? Santa Claus believes in you. The jaunty, portly little man with the white whiskers swung his cane as he walked in the brisk November morning. He walked into a department store famous across the nation, Macy's 34th Street, New York, Crowded amiably into the elevator and got out at the employment office.

It seems a Mrs. Doris Walker was the lady to see up there. Mrs. Walker? Mrs. Walker? Yes. You'll be needing a Santa Claus for your toy department this Christmas. I wish to apply for the position.

Well, we do need a Santa Claus if you're qualified. Oh, I'm eminently qualified. Do you like children? Who doesn't? Do you have any children? Millions of them. I must certainly say you look like Santa Claus.

Well, I certainly should look like Santa Claus. You won't even need padding. Oh, no, I carry my own. Now, you understand that Macy's has a line of toys that you may recommend with complete confidence.

I assume that I'm hired. Yes, can you start tomorrow morning, Mr... Mr... Kringle. What? Kringle. I'm Chris Kringle. And the new Santa Claus was positively the most sensational Santa Claus who had ever held court on Macy's 7th floor.
