The Associated Santa Claus Inspires a City Gift Drive
Will James and George Johnson organize an informal group of colleagues in a Chicago office building to fund a charitable effort named The Associated Santa Claus. They pledge to spend on their own families modestly and direct 25 dollars toward 10 to 15 needy families, providing turkeys, dinners, toys, and gifts, with secrecy kept to sustain the spirit.
