I just looked up the "Wobblies" for the hell of it

I'm amazed that Big Bertha never went after them

for logo infringement as they did (& won) for both

the State of Utah for "The Greatest Snow On Earth"

& some damn shoe company for a similar campaign

I guess that having only a partial globe saved them

Is this the one dubbed as "I Won't Work" back during the Depression Era?

I missed that depression but much

of the folk music movement came

out of the era with some of it

considered subversive

Utah ran "The Greatest Snow on Earth" campaigns this past winter. No globe, just the white stuff. If the Felds won something, the West Coast television markets either don't know or don't care.

The ad campaign I mentioned was

from at least 20 or more years ago
