Wonderful to read this. I am the younges...Hi there! Wonderful to read this. I am the youngest grandson to the late Mayor Lawrence F Quigley. My father was Lawrence F Quigley Jr. He passed away in 1983 when I was 8 years old. I never got a chance to meet my grandfather as he passed before I was born. <br />If anyone has access to this card or stamp, I’d certainly like to purchase it! <br />Thank you kindly for your work to remember history! <br />Graham Quigley <br />510.912.8184Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02790120386256328333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6681636933577206972.post-13441289279516612702017-01-31T11:44:03.064-07:002017-01-31T11:44:03.064-07:00The clue may be the Allied Printing Trades Council...The clue may be the Allied Printing Trades Council logo found at the bottom of the card.<br /><br />Appendix 1 of this source indicates that the logo printed on this card was adopted in 1897 but was apparently superseded by other logo(s) as of 1940: http://www.docspopuli.org/articles/UnionBug.html<br /><br />If so, the campaign of the younger Quigley would have used a more recently adopted logo. Thus, although this is far from a definitive conclusion, the "costly experiment" may very well have been by process of elimination the 1930-1931 mayoral term of John J. Whalen.<br /><br />Lawrence F. Quigley was subsequently elected to two two-year terms, 1932-1935.<br /><br />The number "16" next to the logo represents the particular shop number which printed the card. As to which shop that represents, that is a mystery for another day.<br /><br />For the same or similar logo printed on various other cards from the early part of the century, see for example:<br /><br />https://victualling.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/businesscard2.jpg<br /><br />http://www.vintage-ephemera.com/cmstore/images/product_images/389099729a.jpgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
