The U.S. Postal Service will dedicate this year’s Holiday Ornaments stamps during the unveiling of Lord & Taylor’s 2004 Holiday Windows on Tuesday, Nov. 16, 2004, at the retailer’s Fifth Avenue flagship store in New York.

The theme of the unveiling will be “Deliver the Joy,” celebrating the Postal Service’s decades of commitment to delivering through snow, rain, heat and gloom of night.

Six window scenes of animated figures with Lord & Taylor’s usual painstakingly rendered period detail, will depict the mode of delivering U.S. Mail when delivery was done by horse, steamboat, stagecoach, steam locomotive, biplane and truck.

The four Holiday Ornaments stamps feature painted glass Santa ornaments nestled in tissue paper. Customers will receive a collectible stamped and postmarked envelope as a gift with any Lord & Taylor purchase. A special postmark, “Deliver the Joy! Lord & Taylor Station,” will be available at the in-store Post Office on the main floor Wednesday, November 17, through Saturday, November 20.

Attending the opening ceremonies will be John Nolan, deputy postmaster general, U.S. Postal Service, and Jane Elfers, president and ceo of Lord & Taylor.
