The factory floor is cast as a front-line partner here. The text says every piece of work in this plant bears directly on the war's outcome, and its finished goods go to France to fit the soldiers' labor like a cog in a giant machine. Adolph Treidler made this color lithograph in 1917 for the Committee on Public Information, the wartime agency under George Creel that enlisted artists to build public support after the United States entered World War I. Its pairing of the American workman with the American soldier asked civilians who never left home to see themselves as part of the fight.
