Mot MANY folks are giving
IN much thought to Christ
mas these days, but at Wash
ington National Cathedral a
busy staff of 10 or so is almost
ready to put its Christmas
cards into the mail.
It is the group which, under
the direction Of John Bayless,
Cathedral curator, handles
the mechanics of filling orders
for the Yuletide greeting
cards the Cathedral prints
and. sells each year.
It all began % years ago,
in a small way, when Cathe-
dral authorities, distressed at
the paganistic trend in Christ
mas greetings, issued 5000
PICARD sets for one reason,
Ito put religion back in

Evening star., 1954-09-19

Reproduction of religious
theme paintings by the Old
Masters is one of the best
fields for illustrations, accord
ing to Mr.. Bayless, who says:
"It was the power and
warmth of the Christmas
story that inspired most
artists to do their greatest
work"
At the outset. preparation
and distribution of the cards
was pretty much of a catch
as-catch-can proposition, but
as the idea took hold and the
volume grew, the full-time
department developed.
A mailing list of 100000 or
more names is kept up to
date, and the cards, which
now are published in sets of
10, are sent out in early Sep
tember as ordering samples.
The avalanche of orders then
begins.
AS Christmas nearS, the
staff is increased and an
assembly-line production sys-
tenn is set up to get orders
filled. In the basement of
the Cathedral office building,
the cards are boxed and pack
aged for mailing, AS they
pass down the line, they are
weighed for postage, the
proper amount applied in the
Cathedral's own stamping
machine and the packages
are dumped into sacks on
regulation mail racks. Post
Office trucks back up to the
door to haul them away.
In the beginning, no thought
was given to profits, but now,
because of the huge volume
handled, a sizable return is
realized each year which goes
into the Cathedral's admins
tration and building funds.
