Mary Sandin, manager of
Avant Card. 115 N. 14th
St., said, "We're living in a
time when money is tight
and sending Christmas greet
ings is the most economical
way to express holiday
cheer."
This holiday season,
cards designed for relatives
are making up the bulk
of sales, Steiner said.
Avant Cards specializes
in selling a more unique
and outrageous type of
cards.
"We have a wide variety
of cards," Sandin said. "Dif
ferent graphics out of the
norm, such as punk or
cynical cards, are very popu
lar." Despite Sandin's and
Steiner's reports of
continued sales, Ken Miller,
director of mail processing
at the U.S. Post Office in
Lincoln, said the post office
reported a 1.- percent de
crease in first class mail
between 1980 and 19X1.
"More people are un
employed, and they are not
sending the same amount of
Christmas cards," Miller
said.
Both card shop owners
said that postage rate in
creases have not affected
their businesses.
"People still arc willing
to spend money for the
Christmas season. They may
not be sending as many
cards, but they are making
sure that they send some,"
Steiner said.
