A little history of Hallmark Cards:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Joyce Clyde Hall became captivated by a\u00a0salesman\u00a0who stopped by his family’s store in 1906 in\u00a0Norfolk, Nebraska. Driven by thepostcard\u00a0craze of 1903, Hall decided to venture from retail of various products to wholesale of postcards. He moved his business to a larger market of Kansas City. As time went on, Hall became more convinced that greeting cards would become more prominent than postcards. Greeting cards, according to J.C. Hall, represented class, promised discretion and “they were more than a form of communication\u2014they were a social custom.\u201d<\/p>\n
By 1915, the company was known as Hall Brothers and sold\u00a0Valentine’s Day\u00a0and\u00a0Christmas\u00a0cards. In 1917, Hall and his brother Rollie “invented” modern wrapping paper when they ran out of traditional colored tissue paper. In 1922, the company expanded throughout the country.\u00a0The staff grew from 4 to 120 people, and the line increased from holiday cards to include everyday greeting cards.<\/p>\n
In 1928, the company adopted the name “Hallmark”, after the\u00a0hallmark\u00a0symbol used by\u00a0goldsmiths\u00a0in\u00a0London\u00a0in the 14th century, and began printing the name on the back of every card. In the same year, the company became the first in the greeting card industry to advertise their product nationally. Their first advertisement appeared in\u00a0Ladies’ Home Journal<\/i>\u00a0and was written by J.C. Hall himself.[4]<\/sup>\u00a0In 1931, the Canadian\u00a0William E. Coutts Company, Ltd., a major card maker, became an affiliate of Hall Brothers, which was Hall Brothers’ first international business venture.<\/p>\n In 1944, it adopted its current slogan, “When you care enough to send the very best.” It was created by C. E. Goodman, a Hallmark marketing and sales executive, and written on a 3×5 card.\u00a0The card is on display at the company headquarters. In 1951, Hall sponsored a television program for\u00a0NBC\u00a0that gave rise to the\u00a0Hallmark Hall of Fame<\/i>, which has won 80\u00a0Emmy Awards.[6]<\/sup>\u00a0Hallmark now has its own\u00a0cable television\u00a0channel, the\u00a0Hallmark Channelwhich was established in 2001. For a period of about 15 years, Hallmark owned a stake in the\u00a0Spanish language\u00a0network\u00a0Univision.<\/p>\n In 1954, the company name was changed from Hall Brothers to Hallmark. In 1958, William E. Coutts Company, Ltd., was acquired by Hallmark; until the 1990s, Hallmark’s Canadian branch was known as “Coutts Hallmark”.<\/p>\n In 1998, Hallmark made a number of acquisitions, including Britain-based Creative Publishing (a recent spinoff of\u00a0Fine Art Developments), and U.S. based InterArt.<\/sup><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The holiday season is just around the corner!! \u00a0Make this season unique with a caricature Christmas card from Doodle Art Studios. \u00a0Customize your Christmas card this year with caricature art depicting your favorite hobbies, interests, likes, etc. \u00a0It will definitely be the card everyone will talk about and keep.
