Last summer, my colleague Jared noted that stationer Dempsey & Carroll was stepping in when Mrs. John L. Strong closed up shop. It seems that despite the ubiquity of electronic communication devices, there are many who still put pen to paper. If you are one of these people, or have resolved to be in the new year, you should know that Dempsey & Carroll is offering its annual January Correspondence Card Sale, with its greatest price reductions of the year and never-before-offered engraving options.

Quantities of 100 personalized and engraved Correspondence Cards, in Dempsey & Carroll's most popular size, are on sale for $225, a 40% savings on its regular price of $375. The sale price includes a new name plate, if desired. Customers may choose from four typestyles, five ink colors, and white or ecru card stock. Borders, motifs, return address plates, return address engraving, envelope liners, and other options are available for an additional charge. New for the sale this year is the Deluxe (4-ply) and Opulent (6-ply) stock, also for an additional charge.

But maybe you're not quite ready for a hand-written note. Why not start on Valentine's Day? Dempsey & Carroll is a very traditional company, but for the first time they are offering modern designs for Valentine's Day (see the gallery, below). What a nice way to send, or receive, a love note.

Nice savings on the notecards but if you want to send them inside something, be prepared to pay another $200 for unlined envelopes, $125 (one time) for the return address engraving plate and $25 for the lowest cost shipping. So you're looking at $575 for 100 cards & envelopes.

Just a quick correction: our Sale includes 100 correspondence cards, 100 plain unlined envelopes, a new engraving plate, and the press run to engrave what's on the plate onto the cards, for $225, a savings of $150 off our regular price. Options such as a new return address plate ($125) and the engraging press run to put a return address on the envelopes ($200) are available at their regular prices. No matter what options you add on to the base Sale product, however, your end total will always be $150 less than it otherwise would. I'm sorry if the previous commenter misunderstood our Sale pricing. This 40% savings on the base Sale product is the deepest discount we have all year!
