Social Security Number Pamphlet From 1953
 

This 1953 Social Security pamphlet, featuring SSA's cartoon character of the era, J. Wilbur Worker, was provided with new Social Security cards. This card was attached and would be torn off the pamphlet. The purpose of the pamphlet was to explain the value and use of the Social Security Number.
