Silver bells draped in pink wild roses and clusters of blue forget-me-nots anchor this cheerful New Year greeting card, its gilt-lettered headline and hand-lettered verse — "Happy New Year to you / Health, Luck and cheer to you / Lots of folks dear to you / All the year through" — capturing the warm, rhyming optimism that Americans exchanged by the millions in the early postcard era. The card is a product of the Whitney Manufacturing Company of Worcester, Massachusetts, one of the most prolific American greeting card and postcard publishers of the early twentieth century, whose "Whitney Made" imprint on the back is itself a collector identifier. Unused and unmailed, the embossed back shows the classic Whitney laurel-branch dividing line between correspondence and address fields.
