Addressed to the workers of a single factory, this 1917 Navy poster speaks to the people who built war materials rather than to soldiers in the field. The United States entered the First World War in April 1917, and the Navy relied on private shipyards, machine shops and munitions works to produce ships, guns and equipment quickly. Notices like this were often posted in work areas to remind employees that their daily output contributed to the war effort. Its plain, direct address is worth noticing, because it treats the plant itself as a unit in the national fight.
