- Poster, printed in black text on white paper and mounted on linen, titled "The Ten Commandments of Womanhood." Prepared by the President of the Connecticut Congress of Mothers and issued by the Connecticut State Council of Defense in 1918. The text of the poster is as follows: "Thou Shalt Not Waste Time, for idleness is shame and sloth a mockery; and lo! the day cometh when they men shall be called from the harvest and their workshops stand empty and silent. Thou Shalt Not Waste Substance, for once, thrice and ten times shall thy country call upon thine household for gold, and woe betide the land if at the last thy purses be found bare. Thou Shalt Not Waste Bread, for every fragment that falls idly from thy board is withheld from the mouths of thine allies' children, and the kits of thy sons and brothers in the trenches. Thou Shalt Not Bedeck Thyself Lavishly, for the silk upon thy back and the jewel upon thy breast are symbols of dishonor in the hour of Earth's agony and thy nation's peril. Thou Shalt Not Be Vain and Self-Seeking, for the froward and jealous heart judgeth itself in the sight of the Lord; and in the time of world travail who shall say to her sister, 'I did it and thou didst it not.' Hearten Thy Men and Weep Not, for a strong woman begetteth a strong man, and the blasts of adversity blow hard and swift across the world. Bind Up the Wounds of Thy Men and Soften Their Pain, for thy presence by the light of their campfires is sweet and grateful, and the touch of thy hand deft in the hour of need. Keep Thou the Faith of Thy Mothers, for in the years of thy country's sacrifice for Independence and Union they served valiantly and quailed not. Keep Thou the Family Fruitful and Holy, for upon it the Lord shall rebuild His broken peoples. Serve Thou the Lord Thy God with Diligence, for His houses of worship shall not be empty nor His altars unvisited, in the years of His mighty chastening."

- Description:
- Poster. Contains a clipping from the May 16, 1867 edition of the Advertiser and Tribune, commemorating the laying of the first stone for City Hall, along with a transcription of the article. At the top of the poster is text reading "First Stone of the New City Hall 1867," followed by the clipping which is inset inside a thin black border. The clipping is surrounded by the following names: Mayor - Merrill I. Mills, City Clerk - Henry Starkey, City Treasurer - E.S. Leadbeater, City Attorney - T.H. Hartwell, City Controller - A.H. Pedfield, City Counselor - William Gray. The bottom half of the poster contains the transcription of the article, as follows: "Laying the First Stone of the New City Hall Early this forenoon, the first stone of the new City Hall was placed in position. The large blocks, six and a half feet in width are easily handled by means of the huge derrick employed. A bed of water lime mortar is first prepared, which, filling any cavities either in the stone or the clay below, gives a firm bearing for the foundation and will do much to prevent settling. The first stone was laid without any formalities though quite a little crowd assembled to see the performance. As the structure thus commenced is one likely to endure for centuries, the record of this fact will be a matter of interest to future generations, when all now living will have laid for ages in their graves and the administration of Andrew Johnson will be regarded as a very early period in the history of the Republic. Fancy the interest that would now be awakened by the discovery in some old file of newspapers (if such were possible) of a record of the exact day and hour of the laying of the first stone of the ancient Westminster Abbey or the Tower of London, yet such interest will the files of the Advertiser and Tribune afford to the antiquary of the twenty-fourth century if not of the twenty-ninth, in relation to the venerable old pile then known as the Detroit City Hall."
