Heartshome Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Dose anyone else have one of these ? I found it in my Mum's special keepsake box, the card would have been sent in 1954. It is a white card with a picture on the front, of a toddler holding a spade, playing in the sand, with a blue edging around it, signed J.H.DOWD. - Along the top it says ' Birthday Greetings ' - along the bottom ' from the Medical Officer of Health Town Hall - Sheffield ' - Inside on the left is my name, then it says ' May you have A Happy Birthday and, as the years unfold, may they present you Life's best Gift's, "Good Health and Happiness" - then on the right it says, ' Parents Safeguard your Child's richest endowment, "Good Health", by accepting this opportunity of protecting your child from Diptheria by Immunisation' there is a gap then it says ' Prevention is better than Cure. A wise parent acts timely '. Across the bottom in the centre it says ' The First Birthday ' I just think it was such a charming and thoughtful way of contacting parents, for a very special reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
