BUSINESS MEMO: HALLMARK TO TRIM JOBS

KANSAS CITY -- Hallmark Cards Inc. will move 50 jobs out of its Kansas City headquarters and eliminate 100 others to streamline its operations, the greeting card giant said.

The 50 production jobs will move from the company's headquarters south of downtown Kansas City to facilities in Kansas at Topeka and Lawrence. The other positions will be eliminated by the end of next year through retraining, redeployment or attrition, company spokesman Dean Rodenbough said Thursday.

Hallmark announced in August that more than 200 of the 600 jobs in its graphic arts division would be eliminated over the next three years, mostly through retraining, redeployment and attrition.
