Scope and Content

W.L.E. Keuffel. 1884 June 16th 1934. Program for his fiftieth anniversary at Keuffel & Esser Company, New York & Hoboken, June 15 or 16, 1934. Single sheet gold paper, 10" x 16" high, crossfolded to 5" x 8" high, [4] pp. This event was a special celebration for him at the U.S. Theatre, 617-621 Washington St., Hoboken. K&E recognized longtime employees with an organization called 'The Old Guard' which was for 25-year employees; fifty-year employees became the 'Golden Guard' although that name is not used here. (It apparently was first used a few years later.) Keuffel, a distant relative of the founding Keuffel, was being honored here with a full program at this vaudeville and movie theater. The cover has June 16th and the program on page [3] has June 15. The later date may have been his actual anniversary date; it is not clear. Photo portrait of Keuffel on cover. Text on page [3]: Program Orchestra .... Selections Old Guard escorts Guest of Honor to his seat Address Motion Picture "Stratos-Fear" ... Animated Cartoon Orchestra .... Selections Pageant of the Departments Greetings Feature Picture "You're Telling Me" .. W.C. Fields U.S. Theatre - Hoboken, N.J. June 15, 1934.
