Johnson, Lyndon B.

Description

Plastic combs were a popular twentieth century campaign giveaway. This one features one of the official slogans of President Lyndon B. Johnson’s 1964 campaign, “All the Way with LBJ.” With his defeat of his Republican opponent Senator Barry Goldwater, Johnson successfully retained the office he had assumed after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963.
