This special 5-cent stamp in tribute to Homemakers was first placed on sale through the Honolulu, Hawaii, post office, on October 26, 1964, in conjunction with the annual meeting of the National Extension Homemakers Council.
The conception for the design is inspired by an early American sampler. The stamp is issued to mark the 50th anniversary of the passage of the Smith-Lever Act, legislation that opens the way to improved home life throughout all America by providing Home Economics experts to advise women on better ways to feed and clothe their families.
