Merry Christmas from Hudson Motor Car Co

I'm sorry that this isn't clearer. I'll try to work on it. It's a photocopy of a Christmas mailer card that Hudson sent out to those with whom they did business. It was reproduced on the back page of The White Triangle News, the monthly Hudson club magazine some years ago. I blew it up and framed it. Thanks to my wife, It shows up on the wall of my office this time each year:

"Everyone in this organization takes pleasure in extending to everyone in yours cordial wishes for a very Merry Christmas and an increased measure of happiness throughout the coming year."

The awkward wording alone dates this greeting to an earlier time, for sure. This was a simple greeting car, like a postcard, and not a folded over piece inserted into an envelope like we see today. My wife has some similar pieces that date to the twenties and thirties and some earlier. So, for what it's worth, lets all have an increased measure of whatever it is that we seek and enjoy now and in the coming year!
