Life-Boat Christmas Card

The picture above is for the Life-boat Christmas card, 1950. It is a famous rescue of seventy years ago. The Ramsgate life-boat is going out to the help of the barque Indian Chief, wrecked on the Long Sand on January 5th, 1881.

The card will be of eight pages with the Institution's crest embossed on the outside. Inside, besides the pic- ture, are Christmas greetings.

The price, with envelope, is one shilling, and name and address can be printed in, if not fewer than a dozen cards are ordered, at an added cost of 13s. 6d for the first two dozen and 9d.

for each additional dozen or part of a dozen.

The pocket calendar has a black and white picture on the front of a life-boat going out to a distant wreck, and the Institution's crest on the back. It can only be supplied in dozens, and the price is 2s. for the first dozen and 1*. Qd.

for each additional dozen.

There will also be a hanging calendar with a picture in colours of the Sennen Cove life-boat coming into Newlyn harbour, but owing to the high purchase tax which would have to be paid on all calendars printed, if any were sold, these will not be for sale..
