Lemont, PA: F.M. Terrace, 1937. Broadside souvenir certificate (30.5x40.5cm.) on stiff card stock; a few small paper flaws along extremities, none approaching illustrations or text, verso rather toned, else Very Good or better. Includes collage American flags, the UMW's symbol, and a color portrait lozenge of President FDR, as well as various stencilled emblems and the phrases "In Union Is Power / Justice To All" in gilt. Manuscript calligraphy around FDR's portrait attributes this certificate to Local Union No. 1278 of Lemont, PA. Quite an attractive and well-preserved New Deal-era labor souvenir.
