In certain professions, notably bartending and sales, espousing a political viewpoint is bad for business. Best not to risk offending a potential customer, especially if he's paying you to agree with him. This philosophy is taken to a humorous extreme with this "Salesman's Safety Pin" from 1940. It seemed everyone was either for or against one of these guys. So why not play it safe and campaign for both of them at once? A classic political novelty that will complement your Roosevelt OR your Willkie collection...either way, you'll have fun explaining it!
