Following page includes illustration of club card although this differs from the one issued by Lompoc along w/photo of the first club button (see #1603). Text notes the club card and button were to given to each child upon presentation of membership application. Below this is the club creed. Back cover has text on obtaining membership application w/list of participating stores.

Back cover has special "Lompoc Verse" of the song which specifically mentions the theater. Slightest aging, ft. 3" crease at lower right corner. VF. Final item is the 2.25x3.75" club card on stiff filament paper. Front has individual issue number of "318" and has inked name of recipient and "Chief Mickey Mouse," most likely the theater owner.
