Christmas seal was first tried IA years
ago by the American Red Cross At
that time about 100000 seals were sold
which meant contribution of $4,000.
From this small beginning the sale of
seals have increased each year until in
1920 over 1874 million seals were sold
which meant over $3,640,00O for tuber-
culosis work.
Two years ago the American Red
Cross relinquished the sale of the
Christmas seal to the National Tuber-
