 | 2009 Collector's Series | In 1954, when this delightful image was used on the back cover of a Southern Territory issue of The War Cry, times were simpler – gasoline cost 22 cents a gallon, a typical rent was $85 a month, and Elvis Presley cut his first record. If you were alive then, you may have excitedly watched “Father Knows Best” on television, and gone to the movies to see the debut of “White Christmas” with Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye. The movie likely cost 70 cents!
The unknown artist for this painting uniquely blended The Salvation Army’s Christmas effort with a quintessential Santa – jolly, warm, loving, and “making his list”! We hope our 2009 Christmas selections bring back fond memories for you, like they have for us! |
