Seven men, including George Creel, chairman of the federal Committee on Public Information, stand together at a United States government war exposition in Chicago in September 1918. Creel's committee, set up in 1917, produced posters, pamphlets, and press material to build public support for the American war effort, so the group likely reflects the publicity side of that work. The record comes from an old caption card and has not been verified, so the names and date should be checked against other sources before they are relied on.
