‘The Post Office Department released a commemorative stamp honoring American workers — the "Labor Day" stamp — on September 3, 1956, at Camden, New Jersey. In 1894, Congress designated the first Monday in September as a federal holiday known as 'Labor Day.' In an unprecedented event, a dedication ceremony preceded the First Day Ceremony. Ceremonies took place in the White House Rose Garden on September 1, with President Eisenhower attending.
The 3-cent stamp paid the postage on a one-ounce first-class letter.’ Vignette ‘engraved by Richard M. Bower & Charles A. Brooks; frame, lettering & numeral by John S. Edmondson.’
