Item Description
2x2.75" folded piece of stiff celluloid with a large horizontal bar pin on the reverse top along with name of maker Parisian Nov. Co. Front of the piece "Community Millers' Third Annual Convention And Exhibit Music Hall Cincinnati June 1-2-3-4/1920." Celluloid folds open with front interior sheet designed as a printed newspaper and while text is very tiny, it can actually for the most part be read with a magnifying glass. Inside back cover sheet is designed as a full sheet cartoon-like illustration of an audience in a convention hall with a man on the stage. The most obvious feature of the cartoon is the word "Welcome." Under the newspaper's title, the next line pretty much sums up the purpose of the group which is "Every Community Should Grind Its Own Flour." Most unusual and N. Mint. Only example we know of.
