Fallout Protection Kit   Save
Joseph Kerschner Collection
Description: This folder was created by the Champion Blower and Forge Co. in order to advertise their blowers as essential for the building of a properly secure family fallout shelter. The folder includes an eye-catching front cover; a page of description of general fallout shelter needs; a page of diagrams for building a fallout shelter; and a back cover that advertises the blowers made by the Champion Blower and Forge Co. These blowers would have been crucial for creating air movement within a fallout shelter in the aftermath of an attack by an atomic bomb. This advertising material indicates the numerous business opportunities created by American concerns over security and safety during the Cold War. View on Ohio Memory.
