Object Details

Representative Pius Louis Schwert sent this home safety booklet to constituents in his district. The pamphlet emphasized “the two 'F’s': Find it and Fix it.” With potential disasters lurking in every room, from loose rugs to electric egg beaters, the reader learned how to identify (find) and eliminate (fix) the causes of catastrophe. The authors at the congressionally-funded Accident Prevention Conference developed such safety material to be “disseminated through schools, newspapers, magazines, the radio,” and pamphlets.
