American Greetings traces its roots to 1906, when Polish immigrant Jacob Sapirstein began importing postcards from Germany and selling them from a horse-drawn cart in Cleveland, Ohio. The company began manufacturing its own greeting cards in the 1930s and became the first in the industry to introduce self-serve store displays in 1929, changing how cards were sold nationwide. Now headquartered in Westlake, Ohio, American Greetings remains one of the world's largest greeting card companies, with characters like Holly Hobbie, Care Bears, and Strawberry Shortcake among its best-known creations.
