Among numerous other rccord,
broken this year has been that of ,,.
postcard business. One companv in
New York has sold between o. 00o non
and 10000, 900 post cards since tho Won,
opened ana is now some ten million be-
hinf in its orders. Thirty or 40 other
concerns are in the same business in
New York City. This season has far
"utdone all previous seasons. and still
tn" craze is growing. But while the
post officials complain of their extra
ah"rS. tn" Government is. not likely to
worry over the broadening dcvcIopmcut
Of this fad. which furnishes without cx
Ccpti"n, its most profitable line Of pos
tal business. A few days ago a baby
show was held at Concy Island and on
the following day 900. 900 cards were ,le
r"sitci in the office at that place for
distribution. To japan belongs the
credit or responsibility Of til. idea
Very few of the Japan"s" cards come to
TINS country, however, except as t,:ry
are sent by tourists. Some ten years
aE" Germany began their manufacture
and il is now the leading pro,Iuccr
Every city and resort i'm the land now
has scores "f these cards and they
serve many good purposes. The fai is
by n" means as foolish as many fads
and it has many features which appear
to guarantee its pcrmancncy.
