Photograph caption dated November 22, 1962 reads, "These easy-to-make Christmas decorations, shown with NBCs Joan Chandler, will brighten your yard or roof during the coming yule season. To make the waterproof displays, you merely glue the colorful pictures on plywood, and then saw them out. An easy job for the amateur, you'll need by a jig, band or sabre saw. The six-foot Santa picture costs $2; five elves, $2; candy canes, $1 per dozen; candles, $1 per dozen; Santa's helper sign, 25 cents. To obtain any or all of these, send currency, check or money order to Steve Ellingson, Valley Times TODAY Pattern Department, P.O. Box 2383, Van Nuys, Calif."
