Harry Truman inscribes a White House card to an admirer.
White House Card inscribed and signed: "Best wishes to/Audrey M.
Baum/from/Harry Truman" as President, 4x2½. Harry S. Truman
(1884-1972), the nation's 33rd President (1945-1953), had previously
served as U.S. Senator from Missouri, his home state, from 1935-1945.
Truman had distinguished himself during his second term with his chairmanship of
a committee investigating war profiteering. At the Democratic National
Convention in 1944, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt selected Truman as his
running mate in his successful bid for a fourth term. Truman, who succeeded to
the Presidency upon FDR's death in April 1945, brought about a swift end to
WWII, increased the minimum wage from 40 to 75 cents an hour and fought the Cold
War with his Truman Doctrine (1947), a policy to aid Greece and Turkey in
resisting Communist aggression. In his second term, Truman extended Social
Security benefits to include approximately 10 million additional people and
ordered U.S. forces into action when North Korean troops invaded
American-supported South Korea (1950). Erased pencil notes (unknown hand) at
upper blank area. Fine condition.
