content: Series 2 concerns Mr. Faust's service with the War Production Board during World War II.  Much of the extensive correspondence  in this series relates to expressions of regret and goodwill concerning Mr. Faust's resignation from the War Production Board.  Mr. Faust's personal activities in running the salvage effort are illustrated by records of speeches he gave, mementoes of luncheons and dinners at which he spoke, personnel papers, and a scrapbook of photographs and newsclippings of his "Trip to Region IX" in 1944.  News clippings, press releases, and magazine articles (many authored by Mr. Faust), document salvage activities, as do a number of photographs of Mr. Faust and others involved with salvage operations, waste papers salvage activities, and scrap drives.  Also included are newsletters and other publications produced for the salvage effort by both the War Production Board and the waste industry.  There is also some statistical information regarding the salvage effort.
