Tony Wons was a radio personality. He read plays and poetry and somehow came to the attention of Hallmark greetings cards. In 1938 they sponsored a program that led in to the early 1940s Tony's Scrap Book. It was popular enough that a book based on the program stayed in print thru 1944. The program featured Tony Wons chatting with listeners, sharing sentiments from Hallmark cards, and ending the program with: "Look on the back for the identifying mark a Hallmark card." The shows were syndicated on CBS.
