Original Description:
DYNAMIC, ORIGINAL HANDWRITTEN GREETING CARD MANUSCRIPT PROOFS. SLOGANS AND SALUTATIONS; SENTIMENTS; POEMS; POETRY; PROSE &c. WRITTEN FOR HALLMARK; KEATING; RUST CRAFT AND GREETING CARD COMPANIES FROM 1949-1962. This incredible album is mind boggling as it has handwritten proofs of original presentations for future greeting cards. There are Birthday Card catchy phrases, heart felt sentiments, poems, salutations, best wishes, kind wishes, remembrances, compliments, love, humor, regre...ts, &c. Also card sayings for  Convalescence: Mother's Day; Christmas; Valentines; Birth; Going Away; Friendship, &c. I believe these are all the creations of one man or woman as they have been written over a period of years. Next to different cards will be an entry "32 to Rust Craft" or "15 to Hallmark" and "22 to Keating Greeting Cards, " which leads me to believe that this is the way the author supported him or herself from 1949-1962.
One sample of a Convalescence Card which is really cute and funny: "Not hitting on all eight I hear - Got some trouble with your gear? - Or is your chassis out of line?  - Or is your engine full of grime? - Whatever's got you on the rack - Here's hoping that you'll SOON be back." 
Mother's Day: "I'm filled with thankfulness each day - and find mere words can never say - How much I love you, Mother dear, You're more to me each passing year. You cared for me and were so wise, and now today my future lies In paths where you have helped to lead - Your love has filled my every need. So all I am or hope to be Is due to Mother's guiding me." These are merely just a couple of samples of the more than 200 original writings.

We have been doing this (selling handwritten books) for a very long time and have never seen an album of future greeting cards. Fantastic manuscript salutations that this author wrote and hoped would be produced by the leading companies of greeting cards in the U.S.A.  and perhaps elsewhere. The Greeting Card Industry annual retail sales of greeting cards are estimated at more than $7.5 billion. Nine out of every ten households buy greeting cards each year. So this writer poured their heart and soul into their presentations which they would submit, and one day they would read their original creation in a printed greeting card by companies such as Hallmark (the oldest and largest in the USA); Keating Greeting Cards; Rust Craft and others listed herein. There are well over 200 different greeting card handwritten proofs, on over 65 pages in a book that measure approx. 14 x 9 inches, and is a very exciting and worthy acquisition indeed. In this day and age when many greeting cards are now being made at home, one would find this book is full of fantastic ideas for almost any kind of card.

Condition: Hardbound volume is in good condition, internally fresh and tight. Tucked away inside the pages are several typed future cards. What a great find this volume is for anyone looking for something original to write on a card to send for almost any occasion including Christmas. Some of the funny ones are really funny and the ones for Mothers Day are quite touching as are the Valentines. Actually each and every card offered by this author has a lot going for it. I am sure with further scrutiny one would discover who the author was as there are several names written next to the manuscripts.
