Helen Keller
Chrome unused
Description:
"America's Most Beloved Lady" Born at "Ivy Green" in Tuscumbia, Ala. on June 27, 1880, the daughter of Captain Arthur M. and Kate Adams Keller. While normal at birth, an illness during babyhood left her bereft of sight and hearing. When she was nearly 7, Anne Sullivan was brought from Perkins Institute in Boston to be her teacher. Helen Keller's progress and achievements since then have become world renowned. A movie of her life, "The Miracle Worker" won 1963 Academy Awards. The play is performed live each week-end at Ivy Green during the summer. (This picture on card was taken during a visit to Ivy Green and also shows Miss Polly Thomson, who was an indispensable aid to Helen Keller.)

The Cause of The Disruption in the Independent Order of Good Templars
Deaf mute pupils from Langside Institution gave a demonstration of dancing at the 4th Annual Festival of IOGT Lodge No. 12, in the City Hall, Glasgow, on 3rd April, 1903. This was taken exception to by Grand Lodge, and the result was the formation of the Scottish Abstainers' Federation, with Mr. Walter Freer as its founder. On 28th Nov., 1904, an amicable arrangement was come to by which both Associations were amalgamated. Mr. Freer deserves great credit for bringing about a state of matters which will greatly add to the number and influence of the IOGT

Tucson Arizona (AZ), Continental Chrome PM 1988 Aug-12
Description:
No.88-45. For centuries, the wheelchair has given mobility to the handicapped. In 1595, King Philip II of Spain had a special "gout chair" which moved on wheels and had curved metal bars, notched to position the reclining back and leg rests in various positions. The armrests could be reclined as well. Philip's servant once noted, "though it was but of wood, leather and ordinary iron, it was worth ten times its weight in gold and silver" for His Majesty's comfort. In the 18th century, John Dawson became known as a "wheelchair maker." His Bath chair had a steering mechanism and a canvas hood for outdoor use. By 1871, the wheelchair was being used in America. Ironically, the bicycle craze of the 19th century greatly improved the wheelchair's mechanics--wire spoked wheels replaced wooden wheels, and then rubber tires cushioned the wire. The automobile inspired the mass production of lightweight, collapsible wheelchairs. Today, wheelchairs are a common sight almost everywhere there are people
