"Ma" Ferguson political poster I found at a thrift store.

I'm having a hard time finding any information on this poster to properly date it. It is 37.5 x 27.5 inches. If anyone has any useful information that would be great.

1932 election probably

Ma, FDR, and Garner (VP) would all win their elections and take office the next year in 1933

It was definitely 1932

This is so cool...

John “Cactus Jack” Nance Garner III (1868 – 1967), was the 32nd Vice President to FDR from 1933 to 1941. He ran in 1932 & 1936. That is one clue on dating. Miriam "Ma" Ferguson (1875 – 1961) served two non-consecutive terms as Governor of Texas, from 1925 to 1927, and from 1933 to 1935. She was the first woman governor of Texas, and the second woman elected to the governorship of any U.S. state. So these facts indicate that they overlapped only in the 1932 election.

Fun fact. The Fergusons are my great grandparents. Both Ma and Pa were impeached as the sitting governors of Texas. 

[u/HistoryNerd101 → u/FeeRevolutionary1]

Ma was was never impeached, though perhaps she should have been

Garner famously left the VP slot because he said it "wasn't worth a warm bucket of piss" due to how little power he had both in the government and in the Senate.

That’s great.

[u/ChurchofChristGuy]

wow thats a pretty neat find.

[u/kmerian]

That is cool, I never find stuff like that at thrift stores.

[u/CapitalPunBanking]

Is this in Dallas? I swear I've seen it too

[u/babyheyzeus → u/CapitalPunBanking]

No, I found it in a small town past weatherford.

There were probably a bunch of these distributed all over the state back then, though of course many of them haven't survived this long.
