Dr. A. C. Daniels was a veterinarian who began to make and sell his own products in the late 1870s. His medicinal compounds were available for horses, cows, sheep, and dogs, with poultry and cat formulas being developed later on. In 1903 Dr. Daniels created a wooden toy for cats, which could be filled with catnip for the domestic feline’s (and their human’s) amusement; a first for the United States. Dr. Daniels’ company still exists today marketing catnip and toys: “promoting feline happiness since 1878.”

The Cheer-up Society was organized by women in South Australia during the First World War. Its goal was to provide comfort to the soldiers, lifting their spirits and encouraging them in the fight. The organization hosted “Cheer-Up Huts,” where the soldiers could assemble to relax, read, and get a meal. One method used by the society to raise funds was to hold “Button Days,” in which people could purchase pinback buttons such as this to contribute to the cause.

On April 20, 1917 the United States officially joined in fighting with the Allies, which led to celebrations in Great Britain and Australia. The American flag is included in the hand of cards Lady Liberty is holding — with these powers combined the war would soon be won.
