“Hear Ye! Hear Ye! PROCLAMATION. To All Chicken-Lifters: Whereas: A deplorable condition has arisen within our flock, caused by young cockerels strutting about crowing loudly, sharpening their spurs and preening their feathers; and otherwise showing off for the past three years;

Therefore: All old roosters are hereby ordered to report to the Masonic Temple, Lansing, Michigan, on Saturday, November 4, at 6:30 p.m. for dinner, after which we will adjourn to the barnyard on the 6th floor, at which time much of the crowing will be eliminated and the spurs and tail-feathers of these upstart young cockerels will be trimmed accordingly. By Order of Cliff Jacobson. Supreme Long Reacher. Chicken Lifters Club. Attest: Leon Phelps, Hen Tracker. Tickets: (Any Mason eligible) $3.00 for Old Roosters. $4.00 - Cockerels. Reservations would be made by Nov. 1. Above price includes all dues, fees, banquet, etc. 1905- 56 Years of Fun - 1961.”

Condition: Excellent condition. The perforated section was torn off so the invitation may have been accepted. For privacy I have blocked out the address as the postcard is from the early 1960s.
