Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Wonder Stories of Science
SO cunning And for the five or six year-old lads and lassies there are the sweetest pictures ever made; and so on, all the way from the time Of dolls, up.
Cards, cards: sent from house to house, loading down the mail-bags, distributed in hospitals, going over the seas, down into mines, and Off to lonely cat tle ranches and log-cabin homes; away back to the farthest western town, which in that? Period I spoke of had not even begun to be and to distant colonies where then only savages were - wherever the mail: bag goes, there go they. And that is one of the pleasant things about them, next to their prettiness and cheapness. They can be so conveniently sent, and with no cost but a postage-stamp. NO breakages either, as there might be to a porcelain vase, a carved bracket, a wax doll, or an elaborate toy. The cards are really the most available of all the tokens of good will, at a time when everybody wants to send Some thing to everybody else. And this is one of several reasons why they are so popular.
