(Printed verso reads: "CHIEF PADUKE, FOR WHOM PADUCAH WAS NAMED. In a little more than a hundred years, Paducah grew from an obscure village of Indians to today's progressive city of some 40,000 and over. In 1821 the first white settlers found a moss-hung forest and a small part of the Chickasaw Tribe. These native warriors were ruled by Chief Paduke, for whom this city was named.")
