This is a trifold leaflet, so the unfolded outer pages look like this—
The inner pages—
Some details, in fine 1950 cartoon style—
This merits noting: if you lose your card,
go to the nearest field office for help.
And if you don't know where an office is—
I'll take a guess that local offices were well-distributed not only in 1950, but until fairly recently—as the post-Reagan drive to destroy government services benefitting the average person has triumphed.
This leaflet is a reminder of the days when service was a given, and explained with jaunty cartoons.
Long before anyone would have imagined a
Congresswoman Crazy Eyes attracting supporters by denouncing government—and after a lifetime of
benefitting from it, herself.
No doubt her retired followers will soon be calling for the government to get its
hands off their Social Security.
... Or sharing some
similarly reasoned opinions.
