[0292b] John W. Biggert Company printer's sample kit, around 1973

Location: David M. Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library, Duke University, Box 90185, 103 Perkins Library, Durham, North Carolina 27708

Description: The John W. Biggert Company was a commercial printer located in Memphis, Tenn., that operated from about 1960-2003. Collection comprises a printer's sample kit containing 30 tracts that was mailed in 1973 to Frank Deodene at the Chatham Bookseller in Chatham, N.J., in a business envelope (included). Kit includes two bumper stickers, 10 business card-sized handouts, 16 handbills, and an order form, all featuring John W. Biggert's opinions. The tracts are stridently patriotic, conservative, pro-Christian, and anti-counterculture. They contain no explicit racist or anti-Semitic content, but they assail every other aspect of Vietnam-era American popular culture, from sex-ed to abortion, the anti-war movement, politics, communism, the United Nations, and the National Council of Churches. The Hippie movement appears to have been the particular focus of Biggert's wrath; the peace symbol is described as either an emblem of the Antichrist (the "Broken cross") or as "the footprint of the American chicken." Hippies are portrayed variously as smelly, of ambiguous sexuality, morally corrupt, or drug-addled.
