Its slogan asks viewers to "Buy Fresh Fish" so that meat could be "Saved for our Soldiers and Allies," a direct appeal to American households during the First World War. Under the U.S. Food Administration, led by Herbert Hoover, families were urged to observe meatless days and eat more fish, poultry, and grains so that beef, pork, and other staples could be shipped overseas to feed troops and Allied nations. Campaigns like this one turned everyday grocery choices into a form of wartime service, and fish was promoted as a patriotic alternative at the dinner table.
