Stamping American Memory: Collectors, Citizens, & the Post

Thank you, National Postal Museum!
After Omaha's triumph is properly won,
Other towns, not forgetting our own,
Will be fully entitled to do so as she's done;
In this thing she must not stand alone.
And if some day the crush
Of the Jubilee rush
Uncle Sam and his factory swamps,
The old Sammy will moan,
"Ah, had I only known
I'd have sat on those Omaha stamps."
