Men of America: Kenesaw Landis
 
Posted By: <b>jamie</b><p>Found this today. Just wondering if anyone knows anything about it. It's a schedule-sized booklet, released in 1929 and numbered no. 49. Is there a checklist out there?<br /><br /><img src="http://members.fortunecity.com/wassermj/find/landis.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Chuck R</b><p>It's a 52-booklet set put out by Stevens-Davis. The American Card Catalog designation is H572. These used to be cheap but then sports card dealers realized that one of the booklets has two famous athletes in it...now the set is not so cheap. The same company put out similar uncatalogued booklets dealing with topics that some might call propaganda (Why good Americans must work hard, etc.)
