Additional Information

Association Films, Inc. was a New York–based distributor of educational films active from the 1940s through 1981. The company specialized in supplying schools, libraries, and community groups with instructional films on topics such as home economics, health, and civic education. At the time, home economics was promoted nationally as both a career path and a means of strengthening families and communities through nutrition, budgeting, and consumer education. The bold design suggests a late 1960s or early 1970s production, aligning with Association Films’ peak years of educational outreach.
