Personal Greeting Cards Should Be--Personal
Through the centuries "Merry Christmas" and "Happy New Year" were
considered sufficiently "Personal" expressions of kindly Yuletide and New Year
wishes but not now!
,The Christinas Greeting Card and the New" Year-Greeting Card must now
express the; really personal thoughts of the well-wisher who send them on their cheer
ing way. And Burgess-Nash's- Bureau of Engraving is showing just such personal
Gieeting Cards in scores of designs.
Engraving is done by masters of the craft you can trust them with your "sweet
sentiments." It is obvious that the sooner orders are received, the better.
