- A 6% Dividend Paid in 1912
- Description
- A single sheet folded leaflet stating that "8,643 children under 5 years of age" were saved in 1912 thanks to a 6 percent reduction in the infant mortality rate from 1911. This "6% dividend" was paid as a result of the increased availablity of clean milk provided by the New York Milk Committee. The inside provides a bar graph displaying the continously falling infant mortality rate from 1901 to 1905, and asks the reader to consider what the record for 1913 will be if this trend can be continued.
