A press kit often referred to as a media kit in business environments is a pre-packaged set of promotional materials that provide information about a person company organization or cause and which is distributed to members of the media for promotional use. Press kits or media kits as they are sometimes known are often distributed to announce a release or for a news conference. Traditionally the term "press kit" referred to a set of documents photographs and other relevant materials packaged together and designed to be sent to a newspaper or magazine as part of an organizations Public relations or promotional program. Recently as print media circulation and readership levels have been declining marketing and PR people have begun using the broader term "media kit" so that it now refers to any promotional material distributed to any media outlet.

Format is approximately 6.5 inches by 5.5 inches folded in half and printed on both sides. Item has some wear and soiling.

The Apollo program also known as Project Apollo was the third U. S. human spaceflight program carried out by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA which succeeded in landing the first humans on the Moon from 1969 to 1972. It was first conceived during Dwight D. Eisenhower's administration as a three-person spacecraft to follow the one-person Project Mercury which put the first Americans in space. Apollo was later dedicated to President Kennedy's national goal for the 1960s of "landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth" in an address to Congress on May 25 1961. It was the third US human spaceflight program to fly preceded by the two-person Project Gemini conceived in 1961 to extend spaceflight capability in support of Apollo. Kennedy's goal was accomplished on the Apollo 11 mission when astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed their Apollo Lunar Module LM on July 20 1969 and walked on the lunar surface and landed safely on Earth on July 24. Five subsequent Apollo missions also landed astronauts on the Moon the last Apollo 17 in December 1972. In these six spaceflights twelve people walked on the Moon. Rare surviving Apollo 14 ephemera. Apollo 14 was the eighth crewed mission in the United States Apollo program the third to land on the Moon and the first to land in the lunar highlands. It was the last of the "H missions" targeted landings with two-day stays on the Moon with two lunar EVAs or moonwalks.<br /> The mission was originally scheduled for 1970 but was postponed because of the investigation following the abort of Apollo 13 and the need for modifications to the spacecraft as a result. Commander Alan Shepard Command Module Pilot Stuart Roosa and Lunar Module Pilot Edgar Mitchell launched on their nine-day mission on Sunday January 31 1971 at 4:03:02 p.m. EST. Liftoff was delayed forty minutes and two seconds due to launch site weather restrictions the first such delay for an Apollo mission. En route to the lunar landing the crew overcame a series of malfunctions that might have resulted in a second consecutive aborted mission and possibly the premature end of the Apollo program. Shepard and Mitchell made their lunar landing on February 5 in the Fra Mauro highlands - originally the target of Apollo 13. During the two walks on the surface 94.35 pounds 42.80 kg of Moon rocks were collected and several scientific experiments were deployed. To the dismay of some geologists Shepard and Mitchell did not reach the rim of Cone crater as had been planned though they came close. In Apollo 14's most famous incident Shepard hit two golf balls he had brought with him with a makeshift club. While Shepard and Mitchell were on the surface Roosa remained in lunar orbit aboard the Command and Service Module performing scientific experiments and photographing the Moon including the landing site of the future Apollo 16 mission. He took several hundred seeds on the mission many of which were germinated on return resulting in the so-called Moon trees that were widely distributed in the following years. After liftoff from the surface and a successful docking the spacecraft was flown back to Earth where the three astronauts splashed down safely in the Pacific Ocean on February 9.

194286337Washington DC: Office of Price Administration 1942. Presumed First Edition First printing no Rev. notification. Single sheet printed on both sides. Good. Format is approximately 16 inches by 10.5 inches folded in half creating a four page document. This form has been folded in half and also be creased/folded perhaps to fit into a pocket. The front page as sections for the Name of Registered Owner and applicant information from the Board and details of the application and of the vehicle. The second page asked for additional details about the applicant and associated vehicles. The third page has certification and agreement of applicant and certification by inspector. The back/last page documents the action by the Rationing Board. Tires were the first item to be rationed by the OPA which ordered the temporary end of sales on 11 December 1941 while it created 7500 unpaid volunteer three-person tire ration boards around the country. By 5 January 1942 the boards were ready. Each received a monthly allotment of tires based on the number of local vehicle registrations and allocated them to applicants based on OPA rules. There was a shortage of natural rubber for tires since the Japanese quickly conquered the rubber-producing regions of Southeast Asia. Although synthetic rubber had been invented before the war it had been unable to compete with natural rubber commercially so the US did not have enough manufacturing capacity at the start of the war to make synthetic rubber. Throughout the war rationing of gasoline was motivated by a desire to conserve rubber as much as by a desire to conserve gasoline. To get a classification and rationing stamps one had to appear before a local War Price and Rationing Board which reported to the OPA. The Office of Price Administration OPA was established within the Office for Emergency Management of the United States government by Executive Order 8875 on August 28 1941. The functions of the OPA were originally to control money price controls and rents after the outbreak of World War II. President Franklin D. Roosevelt inaugurated the Council of National Defense Advisory Commission on May 29 1940 to include Price Stabilization and Consumer Protection Divisions. Both divisions merged to become the Office of Price Administration and Civilian Supply OPACS within the Office for Emergency Management by Executive Order 8734 on April 11 1941. Civil supply functions were transferred to the Office of Production Management. It became an independent agency under the Emergency Price Control Act January 30 1942. The OPA had the power to place ceilings on all prices except agricultural commodities and to ration scarce supplies of other items including tires automobiles shoes nylon sugar gasoline fuel oil coffee meats and processed foods. At the peak almost 90% of retail food prices were frozen. It could also authorize subsidies for production of some of those commodities. The War Production Board WPB ordered the temporary end of all civilian automobile sales on 1 January 1942 leaving dealers with one half million unsold cars. Ration boards grew in size as they began evaluating automobile sales in February only certain professions such as doctors and clergymen qualified to purchase the remaining inventory of new automobiles typewriters in March and bicycles in May. Automobile factories stopped manufacturing civilian models by early February 1942 and converted to producing tanks aircraft weapons and other military products with the United States government as the only customer.

We believe that this belonged to Arthur Steven Galvin who was born 8 June 1915 - Assumption Christian County Illinois USA and who died 30 August 1989 - Assumption Christian County Illinois USA This RARE surviving ephemera would be appropriate for a museum exhibit or as an important artifact in a prized collection. Rationing is the controlled distribution of scarce resources goods or services or an artificial restriction of demand. Rationing controls the size of the ration which is one person's allotted portion of the resources being distributed on a particular day or at a particular time. Rationing in the United States was introduced in stages during World War II with the last of the restrictions ending in June 1947. The Office of Price Administration OPA was established within the Office for Emergency Management of the United States government by Executive Order 8875 on August 28 1941. The OPA had the power to place ceilings on all prices except agricultural commodities and to ration supplies of other items including tires automobiles shoes nylon sugar gasoline fuel oil coffee meats and processed foods. In the summer of 1941 rationing in the United Kingdom increased because of military needs and German attacks on shipping in the Battle of the Atlantic. The British government appealed to Americans to conserve food to help the UK. The Office of Price Administration OPA warned Americans of potential gasoline steel aluminum and electricity shortages. It believed that with factories converting to military production and consuming many critical supplies rationing would become necessary if the country entered the war. The OPA established a rationing system after the attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December. The work of issuing ration books and exchanging used stamps for certificates was handled by some 5500 local ration boards of mostly volunteer workers selected by local officials. Many levels of rationing went into effect. Some items such as sugar were distributed evenly based on the number of people in a household. Other items like gasoline or fuel oil were rationed only to those who could justify a need. Restaurant owners and other merchants were accorded more availability but had to collect ration stamps to restock their supplies. In exchange for used ration stamps ration boards delivered certificates to restaurants and merchants to authorize procurement of more products.

Restaurant owners and other merchants were accorded more availability but had to collect ration stamps to restock their supplies. In exchange for used ration stamps ration boards delivered certificates to restaurants and merchants to authorize procurement of more products. Each ration stamp had a generic drawing of an airplane gun tank aircraft carrier ear of wheat fruit etc. and a serial number. Some stamps also had alphabetic lettering. The kind and amount of rationed commodities were not specified on most of the stamps and were not defined until later when local newspapers published for example that beginning on a specified date one airplane stamp was required in addition to cash to buy one pair of shoes and one stamp number 30 from ration book four was required to buy five pounds of sugar. The commodity amounts changed from time to time depending on availability. Red stamps were used to ration meat and butter and blue stamps were used to ration processed foods. To enable making change for ration stamps the government issued "red point" tokens to be given in change for red stamps and "blue point" tokens in change for blue stamps. The red and blue tokens were about the size of dimes 0.63 inches and were made of thin compressed wood fiber material because metals were in short supply. There was a black market in stamps. To prevent this the OPA ordered vendors not to accept stamps that they themselves did not tear out of books. Buyers however circumvented this by saying sometimes accurately as the books were not well-made that the stamps had "fallen out". In actuality they may have acquired stamps from other family members or friends or the black market. U.S. Government Printing Office unknown
