Activists in the 1906 Pure Food and Drug Act Legislative Campaign and their
Successor and Successor Organizations
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.
