It is time to get your commemorative shirt! These one of a kind, limited edition beauties are on sale now for a pre-meeting price of just $17. You don't have to be attending the 2006 joint SAA/NAGARA/CoSA meeting July 30-August 5, 2006 in Washington DC to get one. This year, in recognition of our meeting in Washington, D.C., home of the Red, White, and Blue; patriotism; and the Nationals we offer this lovely image. http://www.lib.lsu.edu/SAA/2006tshirt.html What is it? In an effort to raise money for the First World War, the government promoted early Christmas shopping to speed up the receipt of sales taxes. This Christmas poster, and others, were commissioned by the Federal government in hopes of generating federal taxes to assist in paying the costs of the War through Liberty bonds. The artist, Haskell Coffin, was a well-known magazine illustrator, figure, and portrait painter in New York City famous for his use of the allegorical female figure in many of the patriotic and war support posters he designed. The T-shirt printed in four-colors on patriotic blood red 100 percent cotton. You definitely will be a trend setter wherever you go in this shirt! Order in advance to take advantage of a $3 savings and order in advance to ensure that you get the size you want! Your order and check must be in hand no later than July 14, 2005. If you don't order in advance, shirts for sale at the meeting will be $20. Anyone requiring their shirt be shipped to them needs to add $4.05 to the shirt price to cover postal fees.
