Pin promoting the election of Frank Van Lare for Republican Councilman. According to "rochistory.wordpress," Van Lave successfully ran for City Council in 1939. Attached to the pin is a ceramic or possibly a plastic blue pig figurine. Perhaps this was referring to Van Lare's interest in clean water. He was concerned about agricultural run off, as well as detergents and cleaning products, polluting the water supply. Van Lare was a leader on water pollution prevention, creating regulation in all of his political positions to combat pollution in New York State., undated
