Peace and Plenty

According to the Independent Order of Rechabites, “Peace and plenty” would follow if everyone would just lay off the booze. This colourful handkerchief was produced as a centenary souvenir of the international temperance and friendly society, which established a New Plymouth branch in 1875. Members had their medical and dental expenses covered, plus their ambulance and funeral expenses paid for, if they had been a member for a number of years.
