Society of Red Tape Cutters

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The illustrated certificate for Franklin D. Roosevelt

The Society of Red Tape Cutters was a series of small articles published by newspapers during World War II to give recognition to military and political figures for keeping bureaucracy from hindering the war effort. Each announcement included a boilerplate "certificate" illustrated by Dr. Seuss and a synopsis of the inductee's actions.
