While sexually transmitted diseases are certainly a serious problem, the taboo topic has led to some amazing Public Safety Announcements, particularly the vintage venereal disease posters. Here are a few classic posters designed to help keep the men and women of America safe. Post World War I When the Allies won the war, the U.S. Government had one last task for its troops: help fight VD back home. Presumably, the last thing they wanted soldiers to do was to come home and celebrate with a bunch of easy women.

Of course, if the number of Depression-Era STD posters printed by the WPA are any indication, the “army’s fight against venereal disease” wasn’t very effective. By McMennamin The Great Depression I’ve talked a bit about the Works Progress Administration’s art projects before, but not all of the artists were hired to help promote travel. Instead, many artists were employed to create PSA-style posters warning about the dangers of venereal disease, encouraging everyone to get tested and for those who have a disease to get treated. For more great WPA VD posters, visit the. By Wheatley By Richard Halls World War II The most famous VD posters come from WWII. The Allies had a hard time keeping young recruits away from women, both away and at home. If you can’t get enough though, take some time to search through the archives of the U.S.
National Library of Medicine. Artist Unknown By John Wyeth Artist Unknown Artist Unknown By Bode By Bode By Ferree As I’m sure you know, STDs didn’t just disappear after WWII. In fact, the government is still printing out tons of the posters, as well as paying for television and radio PSAs. That being said, those modern creations just don’t have the same entertainment value as these vintage posters.
That’s why I’ll leave you with one post-WWII VD poster, this one from 1952.

Pros: Inexpensive full feature wireless network enabled MFC printer (scan, copy). Straight copy without having to scan the document into a PC then print it out. Cons: Plastic, but that's what you get now a day. Once in a while the printed page does not come out clean, i.e. Black line; not a deal breaker.
As others posted, a better scanning software would be an improvement. Scanning and copying is slow. It's the mechanical engine. Other Thoughts: The price dropped $20.00. My HP LaserJet 4M fuser finally gave out. Replacing the fuser would cost more than this printer, easy choice. I researched and compared printers from Brothers, Epson, Canon, HP and others for price and features.
Brothers has a better printer but it has problem with state of the art electrical boxes. I have an older house. I decided not to put up with the potential problem so I settled on this printer.
Pros: Bought this to replace the money-sucking ink-jet printers we had in a SOHO environment. Printer is fast and reliable. Network scanning is convenient. Wireless printing is likely the best feature - no LAN cables are required and users with iPhone / iPad's can print flawlessly. The web-based control panel makes it easy to manage. Cons: Power saving is a little weird - every once in a great while you have to physically turn the printer back on.
If you print something that makes it think you're using the manual feeder, you have to press the 'OK' button - it's only annoying because we don't use the manual feeder. I wish it held a full ream of paper, but it's not a real big deal. Pros: Print speed, time to first page and quality of printed page are good. Cons: Wif-Fi went bad after 6 months. Cheap plastic. I am amazed HP put their name on something like this.
Not your typical HP product. This thing is NOTHING like your old Laserjet. If you are repsonsible for buying office machines stay away - far away.
Other Thoughts: My old LaserJet was a workhorse of the first order. It lasted for 10 years and was still going strong when I gave it away. My shop bought paper by the pallet load and the old LaserJet went through five years of up to 200,000 pages per year. I wish I had it back. No one will ever say that about this thing. Pros: - Pretty easy setup for wireless - Prints quickly - I was able to have all the PC's in my house print to this printer in about 10 minutes (wired and wireless) Cons: The scanning software with this printer is nothing but trash. It is a total waste of my time to have an All-in-one printer that I can't scan on.
To scan documents I use my Canon MP 500 that is 1) fast, 2) easy to use, and 3) came with full version, licensed software that actually works. I would have to believe HP either gets a cut on getting the full version license fee or cheaped out on the scanning interface drivers and sw:-( Other Thoughts: I really like being able to print to this printer from any computer in my home. It is very quick and should save me a bunch of cash over using one of my 2 Canon inkjet printers.but until I can find some better scanning sw, I'll keep using the Canon MP 500. Pros: Never got that far. Cons: I've spent the last nearly four hours trying to get this printer to connect to my wireless network.
Connected to the wireless network are 2 TVs, 1 desktop, 3 laptops, an XBOX, a Roku box, a Vudu box, 2 cell phones, and a Samsung printer. So, I know how to connect wireless devices. A HP technician has been remotely accessing my laptop connected to this printer for the past 90 minutes, but has done nothing that I didn't already try in the previous two and a half hours. No well designed and well manufactured wireless devices should take 4 hours to unsuccessfully install on a wireless network. I'll get my RMA from HP and return this printer, but save yourself 4 hours of grief one Saturday morning and don't waste your time with this printer.
