A while back, I asked the Forum for advice on design libraries/museums which might want a catalog from a 1953 Akron Art Institute design exhibit -- the exhibit was in conjunction with a magazine called Living for Young Homemakers and the goal was to showcase designers under 35, not yet nationally established.
A couple of people expressed interest in seeing the catalog posted on DA. I finally got it scanned, and here it is.
FYI, and for the search engines, the designers, with location and the name of his/her/their business, where given:
Brenda and Weston Anderson, Anderson Pottery, Cuyahoga Falls, OH; Douglas Bennett, Douglas Bennett Designs, Seattle, WA; Robert Crutchfield and Clark Gist, Santa Rose, CA; PJ Duenas; Robert Martin Engelbrecht, Ft Lee, NJ; Marjorie Feldstein, Paint Pot Originals, Mattapan, MA; David Gil, Cooperative Design, Bennington, VT; Nuiko Haramaki, San Francisco, CA; R.H.
