of financing the Crusade against tu- i
berculosis was originated in this I
country in 1 DOT by Miss Emily P. Bis- ;
sell, of Delaware. The first season’s J
-sales netted $3,000. In the following
Christmas season the ^ale of seals j
was undertaken on a national scale j
and $135,000 was raised. Last year
the sale of seals brought $4,000,000.
These figures show the great and mar- j
velous growth of the Christmas seals,
as a national institution.
Everyone in Georgia who sends a
Christmas package or a Christmas,
greeting card is familiar with the,
beautiful little seal which is placed
on the package or envelope as a tok- j
en of good cheer and of aid to the ,
movement for the eradication of the
most widespread and destructive of I
all infectious diseases. The seals ■
have become a well established and i
most universal feature of Christmas j
mail. No card, letter or package is
considered complete without a seal. |
As the seal s only cost a penny a piece j
the cost is small and nobody misses
the money that goes into them.
Gorgia has always responded to i
this appeal with the usual spirit
and warm-hearted generosity which
characterize her citizenship. The
sales in Georgia have mounted from
year to year in proportion to the in
crease in other states. This year a
total of $100,000 is expected to be
raised in Georgia. Of this amount
approximately ninety per cent will re
main in Georgia to finance the Crus
ade Against Tuberculosis in the Sta
te. ,
In addition to the seals, a new fea
ture this year will be the sale of
“Health Bonds” to persons desiring
to make large donations. These bonds
range in denominations from $5 to
$100. They are printed in facsimile
of the usual bond and bear interest
coupons payable in results of the
Crusade.
