The slogan, which tells workers there is no time to let up because the fight must go to the finish, sets the tone at once. The record tags the poster with WWII industry and with caricatures of Japanese figures, pairing a call to keep production running with the stereotyped enemy portrayals common in American wartime art. Home front posters like this one tied factory output to the troops overseas. The date of [1944?] is only an estimate, but the wording fits the middle years of the war, when the outcome was still uncertain.
