content: The catalog subseries includes catalogs and brochures used by Fuller Brush Company distributors to sell products to customers. The subseries includes several editions of The Fuller Brush Magazine, a glossy catalog produced in the 1950s-1960s. The subseries also includes a substantial number of mail-order catalogs from the 1980s-1990s, including some mock-up versions of brochures (1990, 1991). Combined catalogs for the Fuller Brush Company and Stanley Home Products, 2012-2017, reflect the merger of the company's product lines following the 2012 chapter 11 bankruptcy claim. Also of interest in the catalog subseries are early informative product booklets A Brush For Every Purpose (1912), The Handy Brush Book (1923), and Handy Brushes on the Farm (1923); mock-up materials and catalogs created for "Fullerettes," promoting the Debutante Cosmetics line (1948); Spanish-language catalogs (1972-1974); and Thumbsy: The Santa Claus Sprite Who Did Nothing Quite Right, a 1962 catalog featuring an original Christmas-themed story for children.

See also series 2.7 for catalogs from Stanley Home Products and other organizations affiliated with Fuller Brush, and series 8.4 for product manuals used by Fuller Brush distributors, that also contain substantial product imagery.
