A color halftone printed in Chicago around 1917, this poster addresses boys directly, urging "every American boy" to enroll in the Victory Boys. Its catalog record links it to the United War Work Campaign, the combined fundraising drive for wartime charities held in 1918. Posters like this one asked young people to take on small, concrete jobs at home, because the war depended on civilian labor and money as much as on soldiers. The vivid color and bold lettering show how commercial printers made such appeals widely visible on the home front.
