A wartime advertisement from Armour and Company promotes powdered eggs for the army, a product the Chicago meatpacker was known to supply. Fresh shell eggs were bulky, perishable and hard to ship in quantity to distant camps and battlefronts, so dried eggs became a practical substitute in military kitchens during World War II. Ads like this one also spoke to civilians, presenting food made for the armed forces as part of the wider home-front effort.
