The Christmas spirit is dominant in
the poster painted by Ray Greenleaf,
whose work is so much in demand.
This poster has more text than the
others, but the pictorial effect is not
in the least obscured. Against a blue

WILSON. POSTER

gers poster, which created such sen.

what is more important, a tremendous
response to the Red Cross Christmas
