[Richard
Nixon] -handbill promoting a rally.
“Republican Congressional Rally! See. Hear. Meet Richard NIXON”. The 8.5 x 5 notice is unevenly cut at the
bottom, suggesting it was printed two to a page. That cut, lack of any printer’s
identification, date or location, and lack of a title for Nixon makes this
appear this was hastily produced. It was
likely passed out near the event to build a crowd, which would explain why no
date or location is included. It would almost certainly have been used in 1946
for Nixon’s first campaign or possibly re-election in 1948. As a promotion for a single day event, this
would have been produced in relatively small numbers. Assuming it is tied to
one of Nixon’s two Congressional races this is a rare, possibly unique piece of
campaign memorabilia.
