The Herbert Jones Men's Furnishings was a Berkeley men's clothes store chain. It had two locations in Berkeley, both near the University of California. It was in business from around 1909 into the 1930's.
 
The "Don't Worry Club" was a generic design used on advertising tokens from the 1900's to the 1930's. They employed a large left or right facing swastika and other "good luck" symbols. The direction of the arms of the swastika is meaningless for these items.
