HISTORIC ITEM FOUND IN THE THEATER
🔶1897 Sperry and Hutchinson Green Stamp
""S&H" stands for the Sperry & Hutchinson Co, which was founded by Thomas Sperry and Shelley Byron Hutchinson in 1896, according to Greg Hatala in a 2013 article on NJ .com.
It wasn't until the 1930s that the company's reward programs became popular nationwide, and the little green stamps were distributed by various retailers as rewards for shoppers. The stamps could be collected into booklets - the backs had an adhesive like that on postage stamps that had to be wet to adhere - then the booklets were redeemed for "rewards" ordered from S&H catalogs" - AL .com

Even though we use PastPerfect for our new entries, we have kept our card catalog. Here's a great article about another institution that recognized the importance of theirs. ( It's all good 'til the lights go out!)

Students and faculty members are working to save the old card catalog at the University of Virginia, which was slated to be discarded during the library's major renovation.
