A Leprechaun is a supernatural being in Irish folklore that bestows good luck or even a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. A four leaf clover is also a symbol of good luck in Irish culture as it is difficult to find since most clovers have three leaves. Irish culture celebrates good luck in general as expressed by the phrase “the luck of the Irish.”

Honey, although literally a sweet, edible by-product of beehives, is a term of endearment said to someone considered sweet. The phrase “I’m in love with you, honey” could indicate strong affection for a person or the sweet food.

Logan Square is one of the 77 city-designated community areas as well as a smaller neighborhood located within that community area on the northwest side of the City of Chicago. The Logan Square neighborhood is centered on the public square that serves as its namesake. The community area and neighborhood are named for General John A. Logan who served in the Civil War, and later in Congress. Originally developed by early settlers in the 1830s, the community was annexed into the City of Chicago in 1889 and renamed Logan Square. Many of its early residents were English or Scandinavian origin, mostly Norwegians and Danes, along with both a significant Polish and Jewish population that followed. Today, the neighborhood is home to a diverse population including Latinos, a number of ethnicities from Eastern Europe, and African-Americans.

This art was originally created by Brock Neilson for the Logan Square Neighborhood Association.

Celebrating fatherhood finds its origins in the Middle Ages, where a day devoted to honoring fathers was formally established by Catholic Europeans. Known as St. Joseph’s Day, it occurred yearly on March 19 and is still an active celebration throughout Europe today. In the U.S., Father’s Day was initially proposed as early as 1908 as a civic celebration. It wasn’t proclaimed as a national holiday for another fifty-eight years until 1966, and six years later, it became firmly established. Today, Father’s Day is celebrated annually on the third Sunday of June.

Hallmark began in 1910 when Joyce Clyde Hall started selling postcards. He had little money—not even enough to take a horse-drawn cab to his lodgings at the YMCA—but he had an entrepreneurial spirit and the determination of a pioneer. Hall quickly made a name for himself with the picture postcards he sold. Rollie Hall joined his brother in business, and the company was named Hall Brothers. On January 11, 1915, a fire destroyed their office and inventory. They took the only salvageable item, their safe, and set up shop again. With $17,000 in debt, they decided to press onward. As postcard sales declined, they recognized the public’s desire for more privacy in their communication, so they started offering high-quality Valentine’s Day and Christmas cards mailed in envelopes. The fateful fire resulted in the Hall brothers’ decision to buy printing presses and begin producing their own greeting cards in 1915. Hallmark eventually made the move to manufacture and sell collectable memorabilia including pin-back buttons, most of which revolve around holidays and other special events.
