Christmas Postcards
This card is very busy. In the center, a woman in a long yellow dress and a man in a black suit are passionately kissing. They stand on a red rug, and behind them is a tall red Grandfather clock striking midnight. A poem to their left reads, "When it's twelve / by the clock, / Put your latch-key / in the lock. / Take the sweetest / girl you know / Say 'good-night' and / home you go." At the top of the card is a border made of candles, a black cat, owl and moon, and bat. At the bottom is a smoking jack-o-lantern, ear of corn, squash, and pumpkin. Above it is the greeting "A Jolly Halloween."

The card, printed into black and white, is divided into three sections. In the far left is a man in a suit, sitting at his desk using an old-fashioned two-piece telephone. Printed below are the words "HE - There's an awful buzzing and yelling dear but not a sound of you." On the far right the woman, standing dressed in a long white dress, answers, "SHE - Yes dear that's so it sounds like a chorus of cats - o dear! I wish they'd give us a chance." In the middle section, three cats are fighting on a series of telephone wires, suspended over a city of houses.
