STORY OF CHRISTMAS STAMPS.
Where American Red Cross Found
Its Holiday Idea.


The Red Gross Christmas sta mp, doubt
less the most prominent little factor in the
holiday activities Of the United States to-
day, traces its ancestry back to Boston,
where stamps, or 'sstickers', were first
sold in this country to raise money for
philanthropic purposes in 1862. The
United States sanitary commission con-
Quoted great fair or bazaar, and used the
money for sick and wounded soldiers in
the Civil war. Some resourceful person
conceived the idea of selling special
stamps as one means OF swelling the pro-
~ceeds of the bazaar. From Boston the
idea spread to many other cities in the
East. 1t was not long until the stamps
were used for so many purposes that the
public lost interest in them and the idea
Was soon forgotten.
The Red Cross stamp had its origin in
the fall Of 1907, when it was issued 10 raise
money for NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. work. The
scamp was first tried in an experimental
way By the Delaware state branch of the
Amsrican Red Cross, the sale being coz
nnsd to Delaware and Philadelphia. Last
year the American Cross decided to
nationalist the Christmas stamp, and
Howard Pyle, . prominent artist, con-
tributed the design. State branches OF
the Red Cross became general agents OF
the little red and green stamps with their
messages Of good will.
With much misgiving an order for
million stamps was placed. But the idea
~@caurht onr and spread like prairie fire.
The Red Cross of3ces in Warrington were
daanged with orders from all over the
<poantry. A second million was ordered.
Another printer and then Q third was put
e work.
The American Red Cross was fairly
Smpthored under the demand and the
prsnfers were swamped. Exasperating
deiays occurred and good people all over
the land lost their tempers because they
cpald not get Christmas stamps and be-
cause the Red Cross had not the foresight
60 prepare for the avalanche
hut there will not be any delays this
ypar. for the Red Cross made its first order
80 coo 600 stamps, and is prepared to turn
out many million more on short notice.
In Ellsworth these stamps are on sale
at j. A. Thompson's, g. A. Parchers and
&. G. Haines' Mrs. 4. K Hopkins, Els
worth. is agent for Hancock county.
