A color halftone poster from Chicago's Rogers & Company, dated around 1917, urges every American boy to enroll in the "Victory Boys," a membership drive aimed at children rather than soldiers. The United States entered the First World War in April 1917, and campaigns like this one asked young people to contribute at home by saving food, buying war bonds, and helping with the war's economic needs. Its catalog subjects connect it to recruiting drives and the war's industrial side, which makes it a useful window into how the home front was mobilized.
