Help deliver the goods. Do it now" pairs a sailor with ammunition, reflecting how much of the American war effort depended on getting supplies across the Atlantic. The United States entered World War I in April 1917, and by 1918 merchant and naval ships were carrying troops, food, and munitions to Europe. Printed in New York by the American Lithographic Company, this color poster belongs to the wartime campaigns that used bold images and short slogans to urge the home front to work faster and keep materiel moving.
