Business records, correspondence, speeches, articles, and research files document the extensive public relations career of William Howard Chase. Chase created a series in his papers he called “diary,” which is autobiographical. Files are in chronological order within each series. Chase’s work on the Citizens for Eisenhower Campaign is well represented. Oversized cartoons about Chase and the American Retail Federation are included in this collection, drawn by Elmer Messner (1939), of the art faculty at Rochester Institute of Technology in New York, and by Keith Temple, whose papers reside with Syracuse University Libraries.
