Milk is the whole message here, packed into a slogan promising health, good teeth, vitality, endurance and strong bones. Printed in silkscreen under the Federal Art Project, the poster carries a July 20, 1940 date stamp on its back and a subject tag for Ohio health. Nutrition appeals like this were a staple of Depression-era public health work, when government sponsors such as the Food and Drug Administration wanted plain, inexpensive messages that could be displayed widely in ordinary households.
