Women of Civil War days had the vision to see the tre mendous appeal of a penny stamp used as tbs symbol of a great public service. The tobercufosis Christmas seal which has now become an estabfished part of our holiday Season every rear, is thus American in origin. Wo men interested in the Sanitary Com mission in 1162 opened miniature post offices at fairs held in Boston, Brooklyn and other easterrf cities. This commission was really the fore runner of the American Red Cross. Anyone wishing to receive letters from them post offices had to pay postage in the form of "Sanitary Fair Stamps.” By 1864 the charity stamps sold in these post offices had brought to the Sanitary Commission more than a million dollars for the care of wounded soldiers. After the Civil War tha charity stamp was forgotten and did not re appear until 1892 when such a stamp was used for Red Cross work in Por tugal. The idea returned to this country in 1907 by way of Denmark. It was Denmark, called by lacob A. Rii«, the eminent philanthropist, "San ta Claus' own country”, which sur rounded our charity stamp with the atmosphere of Christmas. Christ- in Denmark.
