Food Will Win The War/You came here seeking Freedom You must now help to preserve it/Wheat is needed for the allies/Waste nothing, signed in stone "C.E. Chambers", United States Food Administration, publisher, Rusling Wood Lithographic Co., New York, 1917
Note:
"Though this poster focuses on the conservation of wheat, other food categories such as corn, barley, meat, and vegetables were no less important. In order to effectively reach immigrant populations, the poster was also produced in such languages as Yiddish, Italian, Spanish, and Hungarian. Using the incentives of price and patriotism, the United States was successful in its mission to feed the Allies." - The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History
