Excerpt from Coin and Medal Bulletin, Vol. 2: February 1917 For many years back catalogues of important collections of store cards have almost invariably listed the above card of the Catch Club, of the de nomination of cents, and the piece has always been regarded as fairly rare and held in much esteem by collectors of the' store cards or private issue series. No information as to its reason for being has been forthcom ing, although it would be greeted with much interest. It is inferred that the spade - shaped shield on the reverse surrounded by thirteen stars is the emblem of the club. In the upper part of the shield is a ship, in the centre a plow, and in the lower part three objects the nature of which cannot be clearly distinguished on the specimen we have in hand. It seems to be taken for granted that the card is associated with Philadelphia. Can one of our readers give the desired information?
