31st President. Two signatures "Herbert Hoover" on the back of an imprinted stationery sheet from a "Mrs. Howard Corning" in Bangor, Maine.
Most likely, Mrs. Corning asked for multiple signatures from Hoover and Hoover uncommonly obliged.
As history tells the story, Hoover was occasionally asked for multiple autographs and had some good humor about it. He reported the story of asking a soliciting “fan/collector” why he wanted two autographs. The collector responded, “It takes two of yours to get one of Babe Ruth’s”.
