Default Reason for July and August
The two months were added to the Roman calendar because with only ten months the seasons were eventually not occurring in the same months. (For instance autumn was staring in June.)
The astrologers added July and August. In order to be sure there would never be a need to add any months in the future, February was to include one extra day every four years.

Nice card Matt. But you should follow the directions and cut off that ugly bottom part. Be sure to stay on the dotted line

My brother and I did cut off those premium tabs in 1952 and mailed them in. We got - wow, gee whiz - Boston Braves and Philadelphia Phillies caps after waiting anxiously for a month. I think the caps lasted about one summer before falling apart.
