All for our boys" and "Your limit is not too much" appear together on this color lithograph, which asks viewers to give generously to the United War Work Campaign. The drive pooled fundraising for several wartime welfare groups, including the YMCA, YWCA, and Salvation Army, to provide recreation, writing supplies, and other comforts for American servicemen during World War I. Its major national push came in late 1918, so the poster's catalog date of [1917?] is uncertain. The slogan's appeal to give without limit reflects how the campaign framed private donation as a direct form of support for troops overseas.
