Rudolph the Red-Nosed
Reindeer started out as a
little booklet given free to
children by the Montgom-
ery Ward Company.
Early in 1939, the adver-
tising department of Mont-
gomery Ward decided to
make their own Christ'—
‘mas-themed booklet to give
to children. Robert May, an
ad writer in the department,
oftengcame up with a good
limerick. He was assigned
to come up with an animal
‘. story that was cheerful and
happy,
However, there were
discouraging things going
on. Our countryiwas still in
the Great Depression and
there were rumors of war
in Europe. Robert’s wife
had cancer‘and medical
bills had put the family in
debt. Robert accepted‘ the
assignmentanyway.
The poem “‘Twas The
Night Before Christmas”
gave Robert the idea that
a reindeer should have the
leading role. Also, his four
year old daughter, Barbara,
loved reindeer as her favor-
ite animals at the Chicago
Zoo. '
They lived in Chicago.

Some nights, they would
have a thick fog coming off
of Lake Michigan. Robert
had the idea of a misfit
reindeer with a nose that
glowed. Because of his
abnormality, the other rein—
deer didn’t like him, but
his glowing nose made it
possible to navigate through
a dense fog.
What if there were a dense
fog on Christmas Eve? This
misfit reindeer could guide
the other reindeer and sleigh
so that Santa could travel
and make his annual Visits.
This is how the story turned
out.
What would be a good
name for this misfit reindeer
- Rollo, Reginald, Rodney,
Romeo? Robert chose
Rudolph for the name.
As Robert worked on the
Rudolph story in July 1939,
his wife died of cancer. His
boss offered to let someone
else Work on the story, but

Robert said, “Let me 'con-
tinue. I need Rudolph now
more than ever.”
In the story, Rudolph was
taunted by the other reindeer
for his red nose. Robert put
some of Rudolph’s inferi-
ority feelings into the story
from the tale of “The Ugly
Duckling” by Hans Chris-
tian Andersen and from
Robert’s own childhood
when schoolmates teased
him for being small and shy. '
Robert said that he and
Rudolph were somewhat
alike. As a child, Robert
was frail and poorly coordi—
nated. He was never asked
to play on school athletic
teams.
The Rudolph story went to
press and, during December
1939, Montgomery Ward
gave away nearly 2.4 mil-
lion copies at their 620 retail
locations.
World War II caused
a paper shortage and the
booklets were not printed
again until 1946 when 3.6
million copies were given
free to children as an adver-
tising promotion. '
Robert May remarried.
In 1949, his brother-in-law,
