content: This subseries includes examples of letterhead used by Wood for business purposes, specifically Admart, Inc., Advertising, and correspondence, awards, and general franchise information. The correspondence is sparse and the three letters relate to the topic of franchising and one for shares owned by Wood in the American Flavor Corporation. The annual report planning chart is a generic chart detailing the concept (ideas/direction), planning (copy and design layout), writing (art), and production (printing /distribution) of an annual report with an established time frame. The award given to Wood is from Food Services Executives Association and Paper Cup and Container Institute. It was given for, "outstanding use of imprinting on paper cups or food containers in the promotion of specialties of the house." The International Design Conference (Aspen) (IDCA) materials in this series consist of printed emails from 2001 determining whether or not Wood was a 1959 participant of IDCA. See Series 6 for photographs of the IDCA from 1964. The International Franchise Association, Inc., materials include a program for the February 1962 meeting and other printed materials Wood designated as part of the International Franchise Association file. The Food Facilities Engineering Society meeting of May 1965 includes personal notes taken by Wood at the meeting and the Food Facilities Engineering Society News, 1965 and the National Restaurant Association Take-Out technical bulletin, undated. Of note is a photocopied example of a one page, annotated Colonel Sanders Kentucky Fried Chicken, Inc., franchise contract from 1961. The National Franchise Reports, June 1964 to August 1964 and November 1964 provide franchise news and a list of services.
