Its slogan, "Waste Not Want Not," is the first thing to catch the eye, and it carries the thrift message that ran through American home-front posters during the world wars. Food was often in short supply in those years, so governments urged families to store, preserve and avoid spoiling what they grew or bought. The Thanksgiving placement makes sense because the autumn harvest table was where households decided how much of the season's bounty would carry them through the cold months.
