Christmas Card 1925, 1925
Description
Christmas greeting card from Gallings in 1925. Message reads: "While I'm headed for home o're the prairie; with my throwback a drifting along; My thoughts like my spurs keep a jingling; The tune of a Christmas song, And friendship's memory comes o'er me; Lighting up the tried and the true; and I'm riding alone, and I'm whistling; A Merry Christmas to you." Illustration is of a man on horse herding cattle. On back is the stamp from Nancy C. Russell's estate.
