Einar Holbooll, post-office
official in a small Danish town,
first conceived the idea, in 1903
of soiling a special Christmas
Stamp, the proceeds of which were
to build a hospital for tubcrcul
otis children. The first Danish
seals were issued in 1904, the
same year in which was formed in
this country, what is now the
National Tuberculosis Association
In 1907, Jacob Riis, greatly im
pressed by 'what -was being done
in Denmark, wrote an article for
the "Outlook" in whiEh he urged
adoption of a similar ‘program here
Miss Emily P.Bissell of .Wilmingtor
Delaware, who was interested in a
small tubeeculosid hospital badly
in need of funds, saw Riis* art

into effect, -.realizing $3,000
from the first year’s sale.
Later Mis3 Bissell persuaded the
American Red Cross, with which
she tina officially connccte to
conduct a nation-wlcle seal sale.
The sale brought in $135,000 in
1908 end- $250,000 in 1909 The
American Red Cross, however, was r.t
organized to carry on a tuborcul
osis campaign, uhcreas the National^
Tuberculosis Association, formed
in 1904 and struggling in its early
years to become established, was
organized for just that purpose.
The two organizations in 1910 form
ed a partnership into which the Red
Cross put its name, emblem, prestige
•and financial backing and to which
