It reads:
Thirty years after the first United States Christmas Seal Sale, Its American founder is Honored.
Miss Emily P. Bissel, who, in 1907 adopted the suggestion of Jacob A. Riss that the Danish Christmas seal be adopted to fight Tuberculosis in Delaware, smiling as a plaque in her honor was unveiled at Wilmington Delaware.
Looking on is Dr Otto Wadsted, Danish Minister, whose countryman, Einar Holboell, originated the Christmas Seal Plan, now in almost universal use to fight T.B.
Since 1907, the simple idea of a stamp which will carry no mail but which every mail will carry has helped reduce the tuberculosis death rate from 179 per 100,000 to 54.
Miss Bissell, who was an American Red Cross Secretary in Delaware, interested newspapers and then the American Red Cross in her plan and the first national sale was put on in 1908, netting $ 135,000. In 1920 the National Tuberculosis Assoc. became the sole sponsor of The Tuberculosis Christmas Seals, which have borne the double-barred symbol since 1919.

Phil,
My late father in law sold advertising for the Herald Tribune during the Depression. Had to have been tough work. It paid off for him in the end. He wound up marrying into the family that owned the paper. I think it went under around 1968. Too bad I remember liking it, it was sort of a more easily readable version of the 'Times'.
