Merry Christmas Anyway


The illustration on this Christmas card from 1930 is a reference to the stock market crash that devastated the economy the previous year and signaled the beginning of the Great Depression. We see ticker tape spewing out of a stock ticker machine as brokers run around in the background trying to place buy or sell orders for stocks as the chaos of the crash unfolds. Despite the volatility of the market, the card's message is to have a "Merry Christmas anyway."
"The Bulls and Bears may have their day / But Merry Christmas, anyway. Your son, Ross."
"You can take stock in this greeting."
Handwritten date on the back of the card: "Dec. 15, 1930."
