Its headline makes a bold promise: under private enterprise, Americans have enjoyed and will enjoy again more conveniences than any other people on earth. Issued around 1943, this color poster belongs to a wartime wave that tied the nation's economic system to a postwar future of household comfort, at a time when factories were turned to munitions and many consumer goods were scarce. It was copyrighted by Kelly-Read & Co. of Rochester, New York, and carries the ThinkAmerican Institute name, a sponsor that promoted free enterprise as the American way.
