Description
An account of the resource
The collectible ink blotters in the AIHP collection were produced by Parke, Davis & Company in the 1930s and 1940s to advertise pharmaceutical products; they measure 7 by 3 1/2 inches. They carry eye-catching visual images and pack a lot of information into a small space: the key ingredients in a drug or medicine, the health complaints it addressed, and recommended dosages. William Helfand donated this collection of ink blotters to the American Institute of the History of Pharmacy.
The ink blotter, a device to help blot out leaks and smears from fountain pens, took many forms over the years. At one time, ink blotters were made into small cards made of absorbent paper, and because they were so widely used, they became popular surfaces on which to advertise products and services. With the advent of the ballpoint pen after World War II, the use of fountain pens declined, and ink blotters were no longer necessary.

<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.

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>

Set of three posters for pharmacy windows titled "1960 Polio Report from your Pharmacist" printed in 1960. These "ethical displays" were designed and written by Frank Pinchak, a pharmacist from Paterson, New Jersey. 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. The main poster reads: "1. Polio has not been controlled because the public has been lax about being inoculated. 2. Records indicate that over 90 million Americans still need to be vaccinated. 3. Epidemics start in neighborhoods where there are large concentrations of unvaccinated people. Infants and children under five are victims." Side poster #1 reads: "Current developments: 2 dose "killed type" vaccine - expected to give higher antibody levels than present vaccine." 2 "live virus" vaccines on way to be given by mouth - now being tested. Persons taking vaccine transmit immunity to others they contact!" Side poster #2 reads: "Salk Vaccine and its Progress: 3 or more doses 80 to 90% effective. 4 or more doses 90% effective. Single shot Salk vaccine may be coming in the near future!"

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>

An account of the resource
Set of three posters for pharmacy windows titled "4 Steps to Better Mouth Health" printed in 1959. These "ethical displays" were designed and written by Frank Pinchak, a pharmacist from Paterson, New Jersey. 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. The main poster reads: "4 Steps to Better Mouth Health. Proper diet: milk and milk products, vegetables, fruit, meat, poultry and fish. Proper cleaning: teeth should be brushed after each meal, using recommended dentifrices and brushes. Prevention: examination by your dentist should be had at least twice a year, or as often as advised. Dentures: should fit well; improper fit causes mouth irritation and loss of chewing capacity. In some instances, vitamin and mineral products are necessary for maintaining healthy gums and teeth." Side poster #1 reads: "Do as your dentist advises. Extracted teeth should be replaced to prevent shifting of other teeth. X-rays help your dentist find small cavities that might be overlooked. Your dentist cleans your teeth to enhance their appearance and prevent gum conditions which may be caused by accumulation of matter. A visit to your dentist can prevent tooth disorders." Side poster #2 reads: "Brush teeth often. Upper teeth should be brushed downward, lower teeth upwards from the gums to the biting surface. The biting surfaces should be cleaned by a steady scooping motion. Your pharmacist carries every need for proper mouth hygiene."

Description
An account of the resource
The collectible ink blotters in the AIHP collection were produced by Parke, Davis & Company in the 1930s and 1940s to advertise pharmaceutical products; they measure 7 by 3 1/2 inches. They carry eye-catching visual images and pack a lot of information into a small space: the key ingredients in a drug or medicine, the health complaints it addressed, and recommended dosages. William Helfand donated this collection of ink blotters to the American Institute of the History of Pharmacy.
The ink blotter, a device to help blot out leaks and smears from fountain pens, took many forms over the years. At one time, ink blotters were made into small cards made of absorbent paper, and because they were so widely used, they became popular surfaces on which to advertise products and services. With the advent of the ballpoint pen after World War II, the use of fountain pens declined, and ink blotters were no longer necessary.

An account of the resource
The collectible ink blotters in the AIHP collection were produced by Parke, Davis & Company in the 1930s and 1940s to advertise pharmaceutical products; they measure 7 by 3 1/2 inches. They carry eye-catching visual images and pack a lot of information into a small space: the key ingredients in a drug or medicine, the health complaints it addressed, and recommended dosages. William Helfand donated this collection of ink blotters to the American Institute of the History of Pharmacy.
The ink blotter, a device to help blot out leaks and smears from fountain pens, took many forms over the years. At one time, ink blotters were made into small cards made of absorbent paper, and because they were so widely used, they became popular surfaces on which to advertise products and services. With the advent of the ballpoint pen after World War II, the use of fountain pens declined, and ink blotters were no longer necessary.

Description
An account of the resource
The collectible ink blotters in the AIHP collection were produced by Parke, Davis & Company in the 1930s and 1940s to advertise pharmaceutical products; they measure 7 by 3 1/2 inches. They carry eye-catching visual images and pack a lot of information into a small space: the key ingredients in a drug or medicine, the health complaints it addressed, and recommended dosages. William Helfand donated this collection of ink blotters to the American Institute of the History of Pharmacy.
The ink blotter, a device to help blot out leaks and smears from fountain pens, took many forms over the years. At one time, ink blotters were made into small cards made of absorbent paper, and because they were so widely used, they became popular surfaces on which to advertise products and services. With the advent of the ballpoint pen after World War II, the use of fountain pens declined, and ink blotters were no longer necessary.
