Hallmark Begins Expansion Plans During ’57 Span
Hallmark Cards undertook major growth in late 1957 adding a new Lawrence plant and expanding its Kansas City headquarters and downtown store. A two story Lawrence plant of about 112000 square feet began framing as concrete pours proceed, with 50 workers training at a Vermont Street site for a March occupancy and about 200 more needed by end of 1958. The Kansas City main plant received a ninth floor deck adding 52000 square feet for offices and art department work, while the Grand Avenue store expanded display space by 12000 square feet by absorbing adjacent shoe store space and nearby storage and offices.
