Life-Boat Christmas Card and Calendar
THE Institution will again have a Christmas card and a pocket calendar.
The card will have a reproduction on it in colours of the picture above. It is an old painting, recently presented to the Institution, of Grace Darling's famous rescue from the Forfarshire.
The card will be of four pages, with the picture on the cover, and the Institution's crest and greetings in- side.
The price, of the card, with the enve- lope, will be one shilling. Name and address can be printed in, if not fewer than a dozen cards are ordered, at an added cost of 15*. Qd. for the first dozen and one shilling for each additional dozen or part of a dozen.
The pocket calendar will have on the front a black and white picture of a life-boat firing her line-throwing gun to a wrecked steamer. It can be supplied only in dozens, and the price is 2*. for the first dozen, and Is. 6d. for each additional dozen.
There will also be a hanging calendar with a picture in colours of the Dover life-boat, Southern Africa, and the white cliffs behind her. Owing to the high purchase tax which would have to be paid on all calendars printed, if any were sold, there will be none for sale..
