Additional Description

Processing Information

The ladies of the League for Women Voters visited most of the businessmen in town in pairs explaining the purpose of the league and requesting monetary donations. These cards were kept on each visit with notes describing the receptivity of their visit, the amount donated, the date of the visit. These cards are filed in alphabetical order. There are interesting handwritten notes attached to many of these cards, i.e, "Old man says he's for T (Talmadge) and wouldn't give a dime"; "catch him if you can".
