THE HOLIDAY 2007 COLLECTION: CLASSIC DEMPSEY & CARROLL

NEW YORK CITY, June 2007 — Dempsey & Carroll, the esteemed New York stationer, introduces classic designs with a modern twist for Holiday 2007. Traditional holiday motifs drawn from the company’s extensive library of engraving dies are paired with greetings in a clean, simple format on the front of a fold-over card. The result is a contemporary take on tradition, appealing to all generations. The six new holiday cards for 2007 are:

• Merry Christmas, with a Christmas tree motif in red and green on ecru stock
• Season’s Greetings, with a holly motif in red and green on ecru stock
• Happy Holidays, with a buckhead motif in gold and green on ecru stock
• Spread Cheer, with a horn motif in gold and green on ecru stock
• Let It Snow, with a snowflake motif in silver and blue on white stock
• Happy New Year, with a star motif in silver and blue on white stock

Each card folds to measure 3-11/16” x 5-1/8” and is made of 100%-cotton paper in a luxuriously heavy weight. Unless personalized, cards are blank inside. Envelopes bear the Dempsey & Carroll watermark and are lined in a complementary matte liner.

“The Holiday 2007 collection is consistent with classic Dempsey & Carroll design, yet it brings the vision forward. Traditional doesn’t always mean dusty,” said Lauren Marrus, President of Dempsey & Carroll. “These motifs and the elegant, smaller format have gotten a tremendous response from customers who love engraved cards but want something new and fresh.”

The Holiday 2007 Collection is available in boxed sets of 10 cards of a single motif and 10 matching envelopes; each set is packaged in distinctive blue boxes and has a suggested retail price of $45.00. Cards may also be personalized with a custom greeting and name on the inside, starting at $680 for 100 cards and envelopes; new greeting plates and return address engraving are available for an additional charge.

The Holiday 2007 Collection is available starting in September through selected dealers nationwide and through Dempsey & Carroll at its New York showroom, 136 East 57th Street, 4th Floor; at its website, www.dempseyandcarroll.com; and by telephone at 877 750 1878.
