Activists in the 1906 Legislation Campaign

Each of these listings had a contemporary connection with the 1906 Pure Food and Drugs Act. The list was assembled with the idea that their successors (* if known) may have an interest in sustaining and expanding old partnerships with FDA or in creating new ones and may also have archival and/or photographic records useful in depicting food and drug issues from the turn of the century to the present.
