This is to Certify that Dr. Josephine C. Braun of Sioux City, Iowa; Is a Member of the Atlas Club, 1926; "To Better Serve Humanity" & is signed by the International Secretary, J. C. Barcus. The card is impressed with the Club's Corporate Seal. The logo of the club appears in the background: 2 orange spines 'facing' each other with a line from each disc to a center disc? ATLAS & CLUB appear overlayed on the lines.
Although there is a place for Signature of Member, Josephine did not sign her card.
I've looked online & only found brief references to The Atlas Club. The best references I found connect somehow to Doctors of Osteopathy. I haven't been able to find out much about The Atlas Club; however, the following information about publications by The Atlas Club was found in an online copy of the History of Osteopathy (and Twentieth-Century Medical Practice) by E. R. Booth, Ph.D, D.O. 1906; CHAPTER IX - OSTEOPATHIC LITERATURE.
Bulletin Number 1, of the Atlas Club, Kirksville, Missouri, appeared in
December, 1899. It contained merely the names and addresses of the members.
Three or four issues were published within a little more than a year. In March,
1901, Volume I, Number 1, of The Bulletin, published by the Atlas and Axis
Clubs, came out, and it has been a regular monthly visitor, except in July and
August, to the members of those clubs ever since. The Bulletin is a fraternal
journal, but has contained many articles of prime importance to the profession
at large. It is edited by students of the American School of Osteopathy.
