Rather than simply urging men to join up, this 1917 lithograph directs readers to a specific office: the Recruiting Committee of the Mayor's Committee on National Defense, at the Hall of Records on Chambers Street in New York. The title's question, "Where do you fit?", reflects the wartime effort to match volunteers with the branch or job where they could serve best, a concern that grew after the United States entered the war in April 1917. The poster belongs to the Willard and Dorothy Straight Collection, which preserves a broad range of American war posters from the period.
