Hand-held fan with printed music for the presidential campaign of 1908. The front of the fan illustrates all presidents from George Washington through Theodore Roosevelt. Oval photographs at top feature William H. Taft and William Jennings Bryan under the caption “Who’s Next.” The reverse side features a short notation of “The Star Spangled Banner,” arranged by George Braveson, with four verses. The lyrics for the rest of the verses are printed below the notation. The bottom of the fan has two advertisements. The first is an advertisement for Hill & Goodrich, “dealers in Fresh and Salt Meats of every kind.” The second is for “Fish and Oysters in Season. Cash paid for Hides and Skins, Portland St., Morrisville, VT.”
