It is a well known fact, even among children, that Father Christmas has to have outside help when it comes to the business of filling stockings for the millions of youngsters all over the world. What is perhaps not so widely known is the fact that a Father Christmas factory is working full blast filling stockings, in Pentonville Road London. The work of the fillers up goes on all the year round, and thousands of grosses of tightly packed stockings, both for home and overseas bedposts, are depatched monthly. Photo shows Santa's assistants. Comics, tops, whistles, soldiers and bricks are on this production line in the stocking filling facory. When they get home to their own children, these women workers know just what is needed for a good Christmas stocking. - 15th November 1949
