In 1910, Joyce Clyde (J.C.) Hall traveled to Kansas City from Nebraska with a dream to sell postcards. With two card-filled shoeboxes, Hall visited small towns to sell his products. He eventually teamed up with his brother Rollie Hall and opened a storefront in downtown Kansas City.

After only a few years, the shop was destroyed by a fire in 1915. With $17,000 in debt, the brothers had to think of a way to elevate + improve the business. They ultimately decided to create more greeting cards paired with envelopes to add a layer of privacy. The company bought its own printing press and began its production of greeting cards.

Today, the company publishes in 30 languages, with its products available in more than 100 countries around the globe. It is safe to say that Hallmark has truly left its mark on the greeting card industry.
