1956 3¢ Pure Food and Drug Act
Harvey Washington Wiley
U.S. #1080 marks the 50th anniversary of the Pure Food and Drug Act, passed in 1906. The Act was landmark legislation that improved consumer protection. It was passed in response to growing public awareness of practices in food preparation and medicine. Certain drugs, like alcohol, cocaine, heroin, morphine, and cannabis, had to be accurately labeled and identified. The Act paved the way for the founding of the Food and Drug Administration.

FDR – The Stamp-Collecting President
Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s mother introduced the future President to stamp collecting at a young age. Throughout his life, he turned to his collection to relax and unwind.
TYPE
Commemorative Stamp
Commemorative stamps are regular postage stamps issued to honor some event, activity, or person of national importance; unlike other regular postage stamps (known as definitives), they are printed only once and are allowed to go out of circulation as their supply is used up.
