Logic for the Business Man.
Small Broadside: "Logic for the Business Man." Harrisburg: Pennsylvania Woman Suffrage Association, N.W.S. Publishing Co., Inc., [ND, but 1915].
Small broadside: 4-7/8” x 7"; printed one side on light brown stock; creased at middle; 1/2" closed tear at fold at right edge (not affecting text); about very good.
The broadside points out that women "have proved their business sense, their honesty, their ability in thousands and thousands of business positions." Moreover, wouldn't it help businesses if women, who represent 85% of buyers, could vote for legislation "that affect the making and the sale of goods." Anti-suffragists continually decry woman suffrage as too distracting for women. The broadside asks "Do you have to take much time away from your business to prepare for voting?" and does having the vote mean "you want to run for office, or neglect your duties or your home?" With an emphatic, "Please be logical", the broadside closes by asking the reader to "VOTE for the WOMAN SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT NOVEMBER 2d.” Franklin does not record this leaflet. The presence of the imprint of the National Woman Suffrage Publishing Company, of course, means that the NAWSA distributed the broadside and the Pennsylvania Woman Suffrage Association reprinted it for the 1915 referendum campaign.
