ERNEST DUDLEY CHASE
reflections on the custom of sending
Saint Patrick's Day greeting cards ~
"Comic and semi-comic post cards were published for those who desired to
greet one another on
Saint Patrick's Day long before
the advent of the greeting card and even after cards for
other occasions were in constant use.
It was not until 1912 or 1913
that the first greeting cards
(in their present form)
were issued covering Saint Patrick's Day,
and while many of them were
comic or 'slap stick'
the more serious type of
sentiment came into use"
