Artist/Maker
Place of origin

This World War II propaganda poster promotes homefront production as a direct corollary to the success and speed of Allied fighting forces. Posters such as this were designed to encourage factory workers that their technological output on the assembly line was as important as the fighting done by soldiers on the front line. This poster's slogan uses a collective approach: by stating "the more we produce", the message is reinforced that the worker is not alone, but contributing with many others toward a greater good.
