What's a Wall Chart?
In the first series of tea cards, a colorful wall chart was
offered for .25¢. After that,
Red Rose thought it would be a good idea to
do a little promotion in schools. Wall charts were offered to schools for
educational purposes. Typically, a school wrote to Red Rose requesting the
educational material and they responded by mailing the school a poster along
with a set or sets of cards, and album, and sometimes other objects.
 What is on the Wall Charts?
All kinds of interesting facts, lots of pictures of cards, a picture of the
album and typically a few other pictures, sometimes blow ups from other cards,
sometimes new art work or facts relating to the topic. There is always a blurb
about how the posters are to be used. It varies a bit over time. Here are the
different wordings I have seen as far as the purpose of the charts. I omitted
the addresses. If there are two addresses listed, then it is Canada and the US.
One address is just Canada.

What Series had Wall Charts?
That is a good question. I don't really know the answer. I can tell you which
wall charts I have either seen with my own eyes or have seen a scan of. Having
said this, if you own something that is not on the list, please email me with a
scan and I'll give you credit and post it on this page. I am not aware of any US
/ Canadian variations. As far as I know, requests from either country resulted
in the same wall chart. This seems even more plausible when you read the purpose
blurbs above.
