Signed ''Edward Hickox'' in blue ink above a stamp with his name and title, then the executive secretary of the Hall of Fame committee. Hickox also writes above his signature: ''George W. ' Doc' Jacobs has become a life member and founder in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Feb 16, 1959''. 8pp. booklet is bound in black cardboard covers with silver lettering and has two staples at spine.
