Roosevelt to Be “First Stamp Collector” Franklin D. Roosevell will be- come “First Stamp Collecior” of the land when he takes office March 4 as President, according to an article in Mekeel's Weekly Stamp News, just received by J. Newman, local collector with offices in J. B. Burford and Com- pany. According to the story the Pres- ident-Elect has been an enthus- iastic stamp collector from early boyhood, his interest first stimu- lated by his father, who was also a collector of note.
