Its title, "Nothing stops these men, let nothing stop you," is an appeal aimed at workers rather than fighters, even though the catalog also tags the design with soldiers and bayonets. The Emergency Fleet Corporation's Publications Section in Philadelphia issued the poster in 1918, when the government was pushing to build merchant ships quickly to carry supplies overseas. H. Giles designed it, and John H. Eggers Co. of New York printed the color lithograph. Pairing soldiers with shipyard labor reflects how wartime propaganda presented industrial work as a kind of front-line duty.
