Sponsored by USCS Battleship Oregon Chapter. The design is probably by member Elbert I. Hannaford, who did the 1934 Thanksgiving cachet for the chapter. This example is addressed to Edward A. Peake, the original exchange manager for the chapter. Notice the back has the "Berthed in Portland" rubber stamp on the back, done in red ink.
