notes: label: Description
content: Before paper bumper stickers were invented in the 1940s, cars were decorated with metal signs known as bumper or license plate attachments. The shape of this one promoting Alf Landon and Frank Knox, the 1936 Republican nominees for president and vice president, suggests it was intended to be attached to a license plate. Because Landon was the governor of Kansas many of his campaign items featured its state flower, the sunflower. Landon and Knox lost to President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Vice President John Nance Garner who were running for re-election on the Democratic ticket.
