Cards 'Pop
The Question'
AS AN OCCASION for sending
greeting cards, Valentine’s Day
is second only to Christmas. During
the next eight days, the National
Association of Greeting Card Manu
facturers estimates, approximately
300,000,000 valentines will be ex
changed, equaling last year’s mark.
For this February 14, as in the past,
there is a wide choice of traditional
valentine creations, luxurious with
satin, rhinestones, ribbons and lacy
trimmings. But the number of cards
that “pop the question’’ in a light
hearted way. mixing chuckles with
heart-throbs, is on the increase. Pub
lishers say that is because more men
are sending valentines.
While “Sweetheart” valentines are
' still in the majority, there has been
a steady increase in the use of “Hus
band" and “Wife” designs. There are
hundreds of special cards, too. for
parents, brothers, sisters, teachers and
“just good friends."
