A share draft account is similar to a checking account at a for-profit bank, but operated by credit unions. Profit generated by a credit union is distributed among its members, representing a “share.” This represents the member’s portion of ownership in the credit union. At a for-profit bank, private investors collect the profits.

Edward M. 'Ted' Kennedy (1932-2009) was a U.S. senator from Massachusetts, representing the Democratic Party and continuing the legacy of his political family. As the youngest son of Rose and businessman Joseph P. Kennedy, he followed in the political footsteps of his brothers John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy. He was an early progressive liberal during times of conservative prominence, known as a supporter of LGBTQ+ rights and women's reproductive rights in contrast to his Catholic upbringing. 

His political career started in 1962 in the U.S. Senate and in 1969 he gained support as a potential Democratic presidential nominee. However, his presidential aspirations came to an abrupt halt when it came out that Kennedy had left the scene of a car accident that resulted in the death of a young woman, Mary Jo Kopechne. In 1970, he was reelected as U.S. senator, and had a robust career as a senator for the next thirty years. Throughout his career he was known to have a neutral approach towards Republicans, gaining respect from both parties.

Born in 1945, Bette Midler is an American singer, actress, comedian, and author. She began her career performing in off-off Broadway plays and singing at the Continental Baths, a local gay bathhouse in New York where she was able to gain a following. She released a studio album in 1972 entitled The Divine Miss M. which gave nod to her trademark persona. The album went platinum and earned her a Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 1973. That same year she was originally set to perform at New York City’s Palace Theater from December 3rd - 15th but it was extended through December 22nd, due to high demand. Every performance was sold out ahead of its engagement due to Midler's popularity. The synopsis of the show was described as “Bette Midler performs an evening of pop standards, rock, and other music on Broadway”. Barry Manilow is credited and performed as the music director of the shows. Meanwhile, the image depicting Midler and her iconic red hair was the featured image for the tour and playbills.

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.

One of the titans of pulp, the Green Hornet first sprung to life in 1936. The eponymous radio show, created by George W. Trendle and Fran Striker and broadcasted alongside other programs such as The Lone Ranger, detailed the exploits of Britt Reid and his sidekick Kato, masked vigilantes who pretended to be criminals in order to battle corruption. The series rapidly gained popularity and was adapted for a wide variety of media, including comic books, films, and a television show.

Starring Van Williams as Britt Reid and Bruce Lee as Kato, the show only ran for one season from 1966 to 1967. Notable for being Lee’s first major role, The Green Hornet introduced martial arts to American television audiences. The wearer of this button would’ve been proudly displaying their enjoyment of the show.
