HALLMARKTM SPRINGBOKSTM
  [ 1967 to 2002 ]

Hallmark purchased the company, "Springbok Editions", in 1967. At that time, Springbok was primarily a jigsaw puzzle company with a small line of craft kits. Hallmark used its knowlege of artwork and lithography reproduction to improve the offering and expand it to its present position in the market place. [Courtesy of Frances Main and Anne Williams.]
