A lithographed poster for a bazaar at Grand Central Palace in New York, it was prepared under the auspices of the Army and Navy Field Comfort Committee, which raised money for the welfare of servicemen after the United States entered the First World War in 1917. The credit line names Will B. Johnstone and the *New York Evening World*, a reminder of how newspapers and their staff artists often produced fundraising art. The poster's subject, economic and industrial support for the war effort, shows how bazaars, bond drives and charity events on the home front were tied to the American war effort.
