Item Description
2.25" button, same concept as previous pair, with additional text "For Our Company And Ourselves." Depinet was a Vice-President of RKO Radio Pictures in December 1936 and in May 1937 became President of Pathé News, Inc. Apparently this was a company motivational button perhaps to spur the troops onto increased bookings of the studio films. Button has faded color and light marks on the edge primarily at the bottom. Only example we've seen.
