Description
An account of the resource
<p>The <strong>Frank Pinchak Poster Collection</strong> consists of a near-complete run pharmacy window displays designed and published by Frank Pinchak, a pharmacist in Paterson, New Jersey, in the 1950s and 1960s.<br /><br />Each set consisted of three posters: a main poster measuring 26 inches by 42 inches and two side posters measuring 14 inches by 26 inches.</p>
<p>The posters educated consumers about a wide range of public health, pharmaceutical, medical, and other topics. Pinchak intended his"ethical displays" to be an alternative to commercial displays in pharmacy windows. Published by his company Professional Advancement Plan, Pinchak sold the posters to pharmacists around the country. He donated the posters to the American Institute of the History of Pharmacy in 2013.</p>
<p>The collection is currently missing a few known posters including "The Miracle of Cortisone" and "What You Should Know About Cancer."</p>

Description
An account of the resource
Photograph appeared in Drug Topics magazine in 1958. The caption reads: "The college's laboratories were the scene of several demonstrations. Here, Miss Rhoda Lipman (right), assistant instructor in biological sciences, explains to a high school student, how viruses are grown in eggs. Interested onlookers are Prof. Michael Iannarone (leftt) and Mr. Pinchak." A poster set titled "Immunity" is on display in the background. Frank Pinchak, a pharmacist practicing in Paterson, NJ, founded the Professional Advancement Plan. This program produced "ethical" poster displays on health education topics that didn't promote manufacturer products. Retail pharmacists around the country could obtain these poster sets for their pharmacy windows. By subscribing to Pinchak's program, pharmacies would receive a new poster set every two months.
