A four-leaf clover, the traditional emblem of good luck, anchors this 1917 lithograph and gives it the title *The 4-leaf clover of industry*. The National Industrial Conservation Movement issued it from an office on Church Street in New York City during the year the United States entered the war. Its text urges employers and workers to keep industrial peace, presenting cooperation as the basis of prosperity and calling agitators "breeders of treason." Posters like this reflected wartime worry over strikes in the factories, mines and mills that supplied the war effort.
