Vote For
DURANT for
CONGRESS
To get that hand
out of your pocket!

Foldable political advertisement for the 1952 congressional election campaign of Richard Durant. The back and front covers begin with the phrases, "Vote For DURANT / for / CONGRESS / To get that hand / Out of your pocket!" and "You never had / pick-pocket / government / so good." Folds out to reveal a ten-square long comic of a personified "tax collector" and "government bureau" stealing money out of the back pocket of a "taxpayer" and giving him a tiny portion of his money back "from your government." The other side has the text, "Vote For Durant for Congress Republican - 14th District." Beige paper with black printing.
