The Red Kettle / The Salvation Army's familiar red kettle, a Christmas tradition for over 100 years, quietly presides over this heartwarming scene. So often it is a child's heart, like the one in this wintry scene, that responds to the meaning of the kettle. This illustration is from a 1955 issue of The War Cry, published by The Salvation Army / Sheila (script font)Language
