US Slogan Cancels

International Postal Supply Co. Model D42. 1924 was first use in Chicago.

Thanks. Still a relatively early use for a slogan cancel that was used through the 1940's. It seems to me that airmail was still in its infancy in 1926.

wt1, this cancel was used in Chicago until 1946, a long run for a slogan cancel.

Hello everyone, Here are a few slogan cancels I have come across. I don't collect them either but do like having them in my collection.
Thanks

I like the Citizens' Military Training Camps one. This was an attempt by the US government at creating a body of citizens (men) that would be combat capable with an eye toward recruiting them. The program didn't last long as participation rates lagged somewhat, and only a rather small percentage of camp participants joined up with the military.

David,
The first is a 3rd class Texas Pan-American Expo from International Postal Supply Co. Model D42
Second is Perry International Postal Supply Co. Model D43 (Nice cancel).
Third is Universal (machine 3) Model DS400
Last is a Bomar STL04-19b (Machine 4) International Postal Supply Co. Model D40

Nells250,
International Postal Supply Co. Model E42 (machine 3)

This one isn't so much a slogan cancel as it was attached to a stamped "slogan" about being carried by horse from point A) to point B) but I can't locate it at the moment


here are some slogan cancels and just odd ones from my stock book/ singles.

















Philatelic exposition cancel




"Fairplay men declare independence under Tiadaghton Elm Tree"
In my birthplace Jersey Shore Pennsylvania on July 4th 1776 we wrote our own declaration of freedom and sent it to the capitol unknowingly the same day as the actual declaration of independence was signed. Information didn't travel as fast back then but the mood was rife with freedom and the charter the Fairplay men drew up is a testimony to that. This local cancel from Zip 17740 Jersey Shore PA. was used for the week of our annual town meeting in 1976.

here's a few



New York 300th Anniversary




New York Worlds Fair




Santa gets help from the Mailman




Philatelic exhibition, already shown on another thread




In the spirit of Paul Revere, buy defense bonds




Give blood during the war




Revamped ten years later




I thought interesting only because it was canceled on both New York and Toronto.

A spacey looking United Way




200th anniversary Germantown Academy 1759-1959

I agree that United Way logo looks "spacey" but in reality it's supposed to depict a feather (actually a red feather).

The evolution of that organization started with the Community Chest, later changed to the Red Feather Society, then the United Fund, and finally the United Way, as it is known today. The slogan cancel is supposed to depict the combined Red Feather and United Way logo. I think some local United Ways still use the term "Red Feather" to identify certain levels of donors.

OH! Thanks wt1, I had no idea of the history of the United Way. Now I see the feather. Here I thought it was some futuristic depiction, like an atom or a planet or something (although how that would relate to the United Way I have no idea).
Always learning from stamps!
