I Am Sending by Adams Express a Christmas Package to Your Address

I Am Sending by Adams Express a Christmas Package to Your Address
Adams Express Company is now a "publicly traded diversified equity fund," as Wikipedia puts it, but in the early part of the twentieth century it was still a shipping company, like UPS and FedEx are today. Back then, you could use this postcard to poetically alert a friend or relative to the imminent delivery of a Christmas present by the Adams Express Company.

Today I am sending by Adams Express
A Christmas package to your address;
And furthermore I wish to say,
Don't open until Christmas day.

An elegant little design. I love this characterization of Santa Claus.

Thanks belatedly, Smiley! Apparently the Adams Express Company still uses something similar to the little sign as its logo, but I'm not sure about Santa himself.
