Sesqui-Centennial International Exposition National Association of Retail Druggists Badge, 1926
01
Artifact Overview
Philadelphia's 1926 Sesquicentennial International Exposition celebrated the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Though the fair was not profitable and disappointed organizers following the city's successful 1876 Centennial Exhibition, more than six million people attended. This badge would have been worn at the exposition by a visiting member of the National Association of Retail Druggists.
