Cachet by Frank C. Kenworthey and Hal W. Dierst. There is also what looks like initials under the R.I.P at the bottom of the cachet but it is too smudged to make out clearly.
It looks like ?EP and could be KEP for Karl E Parshall - but this is just a guess. Cachet is thermographed.
Also note that Kenworthey's name is misspelled in the cachet as "Kenworthy".
