content: This series contains facility studies, real estate surveys, inventory assessment reports, and other materials relevant to the manufacturing plants and physical office spaces of the Fuller Brush Company. 

Most of the material in the series is related to plant consolidation and relocation planning for potential new facilities, particularly in Great Bend, Kansas, and Chicago, Illinois. Facility studies, which constitute a significant portion of the series, include costs and financial projections, office design layouts, and estimated personnel changes. The series also includes correspondence with realtors, realty agreements, and real estate listings for office spaces. The series contains some facility studies and relocation planning documents generated for other organizations, including Electrolux and ITT.  

Researchers should note that other property sales and lease agreements can be found attached to executive correspondence, particularly among the papers of Nat Zivin. 

The series contains some material related to product manufacturing and inventory assessment, notably an inventory account book (1913-1919). The series contains quality control inspection reports (1976) detailing complaints and returns of Fuller Brush Company products.
