BRIGHAM SHOE SERVICE You. &H GREEN STAMPS S Years Ago In London, 115 years ago, from a plate designed and engraved by a sixteen year old apfirst prentice, emerged the Christmas card! Maw Egleys Young William quaintly cluttered card showed scenes of a formal banquet, a party dance and skaters. Beneath the illustration appeared the greeting, A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to May our sign The next famous card appeared in 1846, arousing shouts of protest from temperance cru-- ! saders. Sir Henry Cole asked J. C. jHorsely, a friend and artist at the Royal Academy in London, :to design a card for him. The card, showing a family toasting Christmas with glasses ofwinc, was the cause of the furor. Sir Henry had sent 1000 cards that Christmas the last he ever sent! Though credit is generally given to Eagley, there is a possibility that his card may have been antedated by R. H. Pease of New York. Pease, who owned a store in Albany from 1834 to 1855, sent a card bearing Christmas scenes " r7 great'wIstern LANI) ANI) HOME J. W. Steele ,Ilay D.

His first cards were made in his lithography shop in Boston in 1874. f f4?- v 1 k-- - xfr A T He was prompted along this line by his friend, Charles Dickens. The latter sent Prang a card hed received from Mrs. E. O. Whitney of England. Prang then printed the card for his family and friends. But, it was not until Prang began creating his own exquisitely beautiful cards that his fame spread. Before' long he was selling his cards all over the United States for several dollars each. Prangs card appeared in as many '.as 20 colors. Very few of them used Christmas scenes, but with instead were illustrated designs of spring flowers, har-- , vest scenes and pictures of chil-- j dren playing. From that small beginning in 1842 grew a demand for cards jthat is so great today, many year large companies work round to turn out billions of cards of every description.
