Steps to the Pharmacy Profession 3 Poster Set for Pharmacy Windows

Set of three posters for pharmacy windows titled "Steps to the Pharmacy Profession" printed in 1962. 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.
