Friends and relatives are invited. No gifts . please. Boyers were married June :J, 1929 in the Salt Uike Temple and have lived all their married life in Springville. They have Mark Morgan Common produces I'.x l.exerley Ramsey Americans are addicted ad-dicted to greeting cards. Kvcry year they purchase millions of them to send to Iriends and relatives. In at least sixteen states, those poring over the racks to find just the right card are purchasing c a r d s design e d , produced, and distributed by an enterprising Springville man who is in the process of parlaying a good idea into a major business. Mark Morgan, a single 22 year old Springville native and graduate of Springville High School, was living in the South Dakota. Rapid City mission field when he saw a need for high quality greeting cards aimed at the LDS market. Since, according to Morgan, South Dakota didn't offer many diversions, he spent a great deal of time mulling over the idea, at times even dreaming about it. Then Morgan, who is the son of Kent and Fsther Rae Morgan and the grandson of Mrs. Merell Young Wardle, moved back to Springville, to set up operations in the family home built by his great -great grandfather, and started the footwork on his greeting card line. Since the time at age eleven when Morgan, seeing a farmer giving free apricots to those who would pick them, rented the farmer's own ladders i Dean Sorensen had a good full life, working hard and sharing many varied experiences. Mr. Boyer attended schools in Springville and BYU. He worked hard as a farmer and at the Geneva Steel Plant in 1942 and '43. He remembers farming with horses, using a threshing machine, picking corn by hand, and many other tedious tasks until a tractor was purchased in 1947. Mr. Boyer has always sense business to the pickers. Morgan has been a salesman. He's peddled everything from vacums to potato chips and has had some marketing and business experience. It was natural, then, lor Morgan to go into business for himself, even at the age of twenty-one. Starting on a low budget and with his motto- "Use common sense"- Morgan was undaunted by the fact that he knew little about the greeting card business. He designed a format using color photography on the front and an appropriate scripture on the inside of each card. Morgan bought an automatic exposure camera, recruited Springville and Provo people for models and set off to produce greeting cards. Once the scriptures scrip-tures were carefully selected and the photography done, Jane Clark Newsome lettered the cards, they were printed and Morgan set out to market them. Morgan chose the name International Greeting Cards for his company liecause he plans to distribute the cards everywhere in the world where an LDS population exis.s. He has already marketed the cards in Canada, will have distributors in England next week, and is working on distribution to Central and South America.

Once, having run out of people to use. Morgan ran an ad lor models and was promptly investigated by the Sheriff's Department.

International Greeting Cards is the result of Morgan's philosophy, "In business it's a matter of just doing it, and then work, work and more work."' Once Morgan had to keep his plans secret for fear someone would beat him to a market which seemed to just be waiting for him. Now he has plans to expand into other Non-LDS Non-LDS areas, and has some original ideas for marketing his cards. Morgan plans to keep the headquarters of his business in Springville despite some suggestions he should move to a larger area like Salt Lake City.
