Does anyone have information about this slogan cancel (i.e. how long it was in use, etc.)? I imagine it was limited to the Columbus, Ohio post office only, although I haven't come across one before now:

It was probably used statewide, since it honors Ohio's 150th anniversary.

It is possible there were very similar cancels for the other large cities and this was only used there, but it seems like it might be expensive to do so.

A similar slogan was also used in Chillicothe (the original state capital) which is sometimes seen as an unofficial first day postmark on the Ohio sesquicentennial stamp, among other things. I do not think it was used in other cities (or if it was, it wasn't used much). Data on post-1940 slogans is not easy to come by. I may have some information at home but that will have to wait until tonight.
