Ttie story begins in Denmark on i Christmas Eve of 1903. with a I Danish postal clerk working late' at his job of sorting mail. As the i clerk glanced at hundreds of can- i celled stamps carrying Christmas! greetings, it occurred to him that * Christmas stamps might do more than just carry good wishes. There 1 could be a special stamp at Christ-1 mas time to raise funds to help the j needy sick. The Danish king enthusiastical ly approved the postal clerk's idea j and such a stamp was sold in D< ! mark w I1 Se nMivy.? to help tuberculous children. The great Danish-American phi lanthropist. Jacob Hiis. wrote an article in 1907 about the Danish Seal and urged that something si milar be done in America to raise funds to fight tuberculosis, then the loading cause of death. His article was read by Emily Bisstdl. a Delaware welfare worker who recalled it a few months later when she was asked to raise money for the care of some needy tuberculous patients. Acting on Mr. Riis's suggestion. Miss Bissell designed a Seal and put on a Christmas Seal Sale in Delaware during the Christmas season ul 1907 The people re sponded and Miss Bissell raised Ion times the amount for which she had hoped. The following sear, 1908, the Christmas Seal Sale was nationwide and has been ' ■vor since. llu Christ mas Seal Sale is eon- 1 ha ted by the 3,000 voluntary as- 1 •oeiations affiliated with the Na ional rubcrculosis Association ^ ’roiveds o| the sale are the sole upport ol the NTA and its affili- 1 111 s These associations are eon- 1 hiding t ear-round programs of i fteckaned, Tre> COKER’S PEDIGREED Cok.-r, GOLDEN HARVEST '50 ... .
