Working Card Amalgamated Association of Street Railway Employees of America

Description:

This "Working Card" was printed in black text on light red paper and was issued to Mr. C. H. Johnson of Division No. 26, Located at Detroit. It shows the circular emblem of the Amalgamated Association of Street Railway Employees of America in the upper left corner and indicated that the cardholder's dues of 50 cents were paid for the month of December, 1900. Handwritten text on the verso shows: "If there are any of my descendants in this city or state at the time this box is opened, I ask that they be given this, my last working card of the closing century. To them I say, for the last 9 years, this city has been kind to me and my family. Also that my Xmas present was a Bible from my wife and I gave the same to her. We look upon the 'old book' as a lamp to our life and a guide to our pathway. C. H. Johnson."
