Sharlot as a Politician
When Calvin Coolidge won the presidential election of 1925, Sharlot
was selected as the elector who would deliver Arizona’s three electoral
votes to Washington. For the trip the Arizona Industrial Congress commissioned
an overdress of copper links which she wore
to the inauguration. Later, Sharlot often wore this unusual garment
with its copper accessories and a cactus hat as she lectured about Arizona
and it’s resources.

by Whiting and Davis Co. (Makers of Mesh Bags) of Plainville, MA. This
was presented to Sharlot in 1925 by the AZ Industrial Congress for her
trip to Washington D.C.
