Description
This print is an advertisement for the business of Ben Cummins, Realtor, published in the May 27, 1945, issue of Miami Beach Sun-Tropics on page 19. It features an illustration of the sculpture of President Abraham Lincoln in the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D. C. To the viewer's right of the sculpture is text that reads "Dedicated to the many friends who have made our business possible." Below the illustration is a poem ending with the line, "What's Your Score?" The publisher's name and contact information are at the bottom of the print. This is an example of the Lincoln name/image being used to promote positive feelings toward a business or organization.
