Some Loungers might enjoy the bit of paper ephemera I posted at Cladrite Radio today. It's a 1930s pamphlet from a telegraph company, touting the idea of sending season's greetings via telegram. It also includes a list of pre-written holiday messages that one could order via three-digit number (like an item on a menu at a Chinese restaurant).

A fun item, I think. Check it out.
