The stamp that helped eradicate TB

4/28/2023 8:22:00 AM

by Dave Tabler

By the end of 1907, Wilmington's first sanatorium, a crucial facility in the fight against tuberculosis, was facing significant financial trouble. The Red Cross had tried multiple fundraising strategies, but none had proven effective until Emily Bissell's Christmas Seal stamps.

If you like this clip, keep an eye out for my forthcoming book “Delaware from Railways to Freeways.” Find out just how Bissell won America over for Christmas Seal stamps.
