We believe this to be a memorial button, done at his death. Pictures Harry
S. Truman 1884-1972. Small printing seen at edge on back is hard to read
and what we can definitely see is Fargo Rubber Stamp.....beyond that, too
difficult. Very nice condition.
From a little group of paper goods we found in Hillsborough, NC, comes this
political handout. We believe it to be from the 1930's but are
uncertain. It tells about the "hidden Soak the Poor taxes" and
encourages one to "Vote the Republican Ticket" and stop the spending
spree that places this back-breaking tax burden on your family. $5

"Vari-Vue by Pictorial Productions, Inc., Mt. Vernon, N.Y. U.S.A.; also
gives a patent number and has a printers "bug". It was done by
