Sub-series 2. Handbills by Letter, circa 1940-1961

Arranged alphabetically by the first letter of title, this sub-series contains a selection of handbills printed by the Human Engineering Foundation between 1940 and 1961. Its contents consist of handbills not found in Series V, Sub-series 1. Most of the handbills in this this sub-series were printed after World War II (1945-1961). A handful of handbills printed prior to and during the war are also preserved here.

The handbills preserved in this sub-series advocate against the use of tobacco, alcohol, and caffeine. They also advertise what Howard B. Bishop considered to be the benefits of abstaining from tobacco, alcohol, and caffeine, which include, but are not limited to, general health and well-being, financial savings, automobile safety, fire safety, and healthy families.
