This 1917 lithograph recasts a factory as a military post, calling "Fort Factory" the station of a "volunteer, wage-paid American industrial army" whose success depends on good feeling between captains and privates. The United States had entered the First World War in April 1917, and the federal government was scrambling to turn civilian industry toward war production. Posters like this one urged managers and workers to see themselves as comrades in a common effort, a message meant to head off labor disputes and keep output high. The National Industrial Conservation Movement issued it from New York City, and its wording shows how wartime rhetoric borrowed military language to describe ordinary factory life.
