Chapter XXII: Appendix: Holiday Greetings
HOLIDAY GREETINGS _furnish opportunity for expression of the art of
printing. The more than one hundred specimens reproduced in
miniature in this section (received by the editors of “The American
Printer” from friends) contain many suggestions of typographic
interest_
]
“Everybody in our house
wishes everybody in your house
a Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year”
]
“Volumes of good wishes
to friends of ours
from friends of yours”
]
“CHRISTMAS:
A time for giving and for getting
and forgiving and forgetting”
]
“May all that thou wishest
and all that thou lovest
come smiling around
thy sunny way”
]
“At Christmas be merry
And thankful withal,
And feast thy poor neighbors,
The great with the small”
]
“GLORIA IN EXCELSIS
DEO
ET IN TERRA PAX
HOMINIBUS BONAE
VOLUNTATIS”
]
“Ule! Ule!
Three puddings in a pule—
Crack nuts and cry Ule!”

TRANSCRIBER’S NOTES
1. Many illustrations may appear to be out of order. The book was in
two columns of text. The text read top to bottom then left to
right as normal. However, the illustrations were usually numbered
left to right then top to bottom. The illustrations were inserted
as close as possible in the normal flow of the text. Some
illustrations were out of order, e.g. Example 16.
2. The illustrations are displayed in direct proportion to their size
in the original.
3. Added ‘the’ between ‘of’ and ‘customer’ on p. 119.
4. Silently corrected typographical errors.
5. Retained anachronistic and non-standard spellings as printed.
6. Enclosed italics font in _underscores_.
