The article traces Christmas Seals from their 1862 Boston Civil War origin to global use and recalls the 1908 national program. It details Concord’s local sale in drug stores and via the Woman's Club, names committee members, notes 10 000 stamps sold last year, and explains 80 percent of proceeds support local tuberculosis aid and prevention efforts.
