Artifact of the Week: 1949 Christmas Carols Book

1949 Christmas book cover with singers
Thu, 12/17/2020

This booklet, entitled “Christmas Carols,” was created by Ideal Laundry and Cleaners in 1949. The company distributed these booklets to their customers during that Christmas season.  It included not only sheet music to famous Christmas carols, but also a 1950 calendar. This book is among several seasonal greetings on display in our gallery until Christmas. We hope that you’ll visit the museum today to see more from Anderson’s holiday history.
