History Of Red Cross Seal.

Charity stamps" first used In
Boston in 1862 for the soldiers relief
funds during the Civil war, were the
original f~orerunners Of the Red Cross
Christmas seal, which will be used
this year to bring happiness and cheer:
to millions. The Delaware Anti-Tu-;
berculosis society in 1907 for the first
time in America made use of a stamp
for the purpose of getting revenue to-
fight consumption. In a hastily or
ganized campaign Of only three weeks,
they realized $4,000. The next year,
1908, the American Red Cross con-
Quoted the first national tuberculosis;
stamp campaign. From this sale $780,,
900 was realized for the a~nti-tubercu-,
losis movement. In 1909, under many,
adverse conditions, $250,O0O was rea-
lized from these stamps. This year,
the slogan of the tuberculosis fighters
and the Red Cross is "A Million for
tuberculosis From Red Cross Seals
in 1910"
