Miss Sallie Bryant, executive secretary of the Buchanan County Tuberculosis Society, has learned that she has two Christmas seal stamps valued by dealers at $10 or more, and had the stamps met certain requirements for the year they were issued they would be worth $40. A price list received today from the state association indicates that one Christmas seal is valued at $25, another at $15 and still others at lesser amounts. It is believed by Miss Bryant that some other local collectors may have some of the more valuable stamps.
