In 1959 the 1st Federal Savings and
Loan Association of Washington D.C.,
issued a set of 20, baseball series
advertising matchbooks named "Famous
Senators." During the same time the
bank issued a 1958-59 Washington
Redskins football series, set of 20
matchbooks. The baseball series feature
"famous Senators" of the 20th century.
The back of the matchbook has a Black
and white player portrait photo, with
the (years) associated with the team,
to the left, the Washington Senators
team logo above, with "Famous Players"
to the right.
The section between the front and back, called the saddle, reads "1st
Federal Savings." The advertisement on
the front reads: "Makes a hit with "Washigtonians"
to the right of a baseball that reads;
"Savings." Below the ball reads; "A 4
Bagger! Dividends 4 Times a Year" with
an illustration of the number "1"
character wearing a Washington baseball
cap hitting a ball. The banks address
is at the bottom; "1st Federal Savings
and Loan Association, 610-13th Street,
N.W. * Washington S, D.C."
On the inside, the "1st Federal Savings and Loans presents" the "Name" of
the Player pictured on the front,
"Position" and a tidbit about the
player such as lifetime batting average
or when elected to the Hall of Fame,
followed by "This is One of Twenty."
Starting from the inside saddle reads;
Famous Senators presented for you by
your, 1st Federal Savings and Loans
Association of Washington, Bethesda
Branch, 8216 Wisconsin Ave., Rethesda
14, Md. When the Franchise moved to
Minnesota the same format was used for
the
1961 F&M Bank Minnesota Twins
matchbook set.
