Governor Teller Ammons and his wife, Esther (Davis) Ammons, on the occasion of his 42nd birthday, December 3, 1938. They stand on either side of a 5-tiered cake decorated with the state capitol building on top. and Colorado flora on the sides. The lettering on the cake reads: "Wishing our son of Colorado a very happy birthday December 3, 1938. Events come and go in lives of all mortal men, be whatever their hearth, clan or kin. But when a life has served a needed post, remember it by more than talk or boast. So this token here which surely is not of clay represents our affections for Governor Teller Ammons on this his forty-second natal day."
