Step into the heart of mid-century Detroit politics with this rare, uncirculated campaign postcard featuring James Frazer, candidate for City Council. Likely from the 1950s or 1960s, the front of the card includes a classic black-and-white portrait of Frazer alongside bold campaign messaging:
“Elect ... James FRAZER for City Council”
“108 on Ballot”
“PREFERRED – WELL QUALIFIED (By Civic Searchlight)”
Six key traits are proudly listed with stars: Experience, Character, Vision, Drive, Purpose, and Sensitivity—a values-forward pitch typical of the postwar civic era.
The reverse side appeals directly to voters, highlighting Frazer’s unpaid service on boards and commissions appointed by five different Detroit mayors. It closes with a humble note: “Your vote will be appreciated.”
A unique and charming piece of Detroit history—perfect for collectors of political ephemera, Michigan memorabilia, or mid-century Americana.
Unused; uncirculated. Clean and well-preserved with no writing or postmark.
This postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful host or hostess gift, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
