Best wishes to all for a joyous holiday and a happy and healthy new year!

The old Western Union Telegraph Company encouraged people to send holiday greetings and cash gifts by wire. Below are some ads that originally appeared in LIFE magazine.

Christmas messages would be send on specially decorated blanks. Messages for children would be sent on a Santa-Gram blank. Money orders could be sent in a decorated gift envelope.
