- Description:
- The greeting card was perhaps an expression of patriotism at the end of World War I. The Madame C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company's greeting card for Christmas/1918 and New Year/1919 sported an embossed red, white, and blue American flag on the front cover. The inside of the card contained two etchings: 1). snow-covered houses and trees representing Christmas and 2). a sunrise representing the New Year. The card indicates that it was being sent to patrons as an expression of the company's appreciation. It includes the company's address: 640 N. West Street, Indianapolis, Indiana. It was the last year the company had a Christmas card prior to Walker's death in May, 1919.
