Summary
Small, folded yellow calendar for 1942, issued by the Australian Mutual Provident Society (AMP)'s Industrial Department in Sydney. The calendar bears an image of a key labelled 'Security' and boasts that 'The key to thrift & security for the future is a policy in the AMP Society - the Largest, Safest and Best Australasian Life Office'.
Donated to Museum Victoria with a collection of material reflecting the economic life of the donor's parents, who lived in suburban East Malvern, in south-east Melbourne.The calendar was actively used, with dates in January to March crossed out. It is likely that it was acquired with other information and advertising from the AMP that was collected and preserved by the family.
