Society Christmas Card Industry Said Woman's Field It's truly a woman's world at Christmastime especially where Christmas cards are con cerned. Women buy four-fifths of the nation's Christmas cards, and no wonder: Most of our Yuletide greetings are rhymed, designed, ornamented and sold by the fair sex. And just to make sure the greeting card industry never overlooks the woman's view point, several of the nation's greeting card publishers have woman as their presidents! The friendly charm of Christ mas cards is credited largely to this "feminine touch" in their creation. Their warm-heartedness contrasts strongly with that other familiar year-end art form, the illustrated calendar, which is published primarily to meet masculine tastes. Most greeting card verse writ ers are women, many of whom jot down sparkling rhymes in spare moments between house hold chores. Over half of the full time greeting card artists are women. Their deft, sympathetic touch is preferred for certain types of paintings, such as whimsical cherubs and religious designs. Do Hand Work Women do practically all the exacting hand work that lends richness and sparkle to Christ mas cards attaching sequins, puffed stain inserts, completing trick folds, and dusting snow scenes with frosty cellophane flakes. Men lack the necessary dexterity, and no machine yet invented can match the precise bows of ribbon tied by nimble feminine fingers. Even selling greeting cards is largely a woman's field whether it's in a department store, across the counter of a gifts or station ery shop, or by publisher's rep resentatives who call at the buy er's home. The distaff influence on Christmas cards is hardly a new development, though. Louis Prang, a Boston publisher of chromos, issued the first line of American Christmas cards in 1875. He 'added Yuletide senti ments to his flower illustrations at the suggestion of a clerk in his London office a woman, naturally.
