description The pamphlet "What You Can Do for Americanization" outlines strategies to effect Americanization in immigrant communities. It urges all citizens to understand and reach out to "our New American neighbors" and encourages businessmen, young people, women, and other groups to use different tactics to promote Americanization. U.S. Chamber of Commerce Bulletin No. 24 includes articles concerning Independence Day celebrations of "foreign-born citizens," as well as Americanization efforts in industry and war work. The flier "Making Foreign-Born Workers Americans" outlines techniques for Americanizing immigrants in the industrial workforce.
