<B>Henry Wallace Campaign Group Lot.</B></I> This lot contains eight items which were used during Henry Wallace's failed 1948 campaign run. The first five items are a press kit which was sent to various newspapers around the country. It contains two advertising mats and two proofs which depicts a small cartoon of Wallace and an advertisement to listen to him speak on NBC. The next item is a paper and plastic military style hat that reads "Wallace for Veterans." This green and white hat is in near mint condition with just a few small soiling spots. The seventh item is a small bookmark that reads "We Want Wallace." This blue and white novelty measures 2 1/4" x 6 3/4" and is in mint condition. The final item is an unusual piece, a small record, entitled "Great Day" sung by Michael Loring and was produced by Peoples Songs Inc. The back features a little anti-Republican and Democrat poem as well as the Donkey and Elephant walking in circles looking beaten and tired. The poem reads: "Which one will you ride this year? The donkey is tired and thin and the elephant thinks he'll move in, they all yell and fuss but they ain't foolin' us cause they're brothers under the skin. It's the same, same merry-go-round." The record is still in excellent condition and looks to be still playable! A great lot for this obscure campaign run!
