Title: Read!! Don't Throw Me Away! Paramount Progressive Order of Moose Promotional Handbill
Description: St. Louis, MO, Paramount Progressive Order of Moose, Publisher. Unbound. no date, perhaps circa 1922. Single sheet, 6 by 4 inches. Small piece that looks like it was to have been folded into a 4 page booklet, although this is unfolded. A promotional piece issued by the Paramount Progressive Order of Moose, an African American fraternal organization very similar to the Loyal Order of Moose. The Loyal Order of Moose did not allow African Americans into their organization, so this, and other similar organizations, were founded to serve the needs of African Americans. The Paramount Progressive Order of Moose appears to have ceased operations by the early 1930s, perhaps partly due to lawsuits it faced from the Loyal Order of Moose for its use of their imagery. This piece discusses helping those in financial need with housing through dues, as well as indicating the group offered free medical aid. GOOD condition. Heavy scattered foxing and creasing. Several small tears along the edges. Good .
