This color lithograph ties the work done in American factories to the soldiers overseas, with a slogan promising that "your work here makes their work over there possible." Issued under the authority of the Army's Ordnance Department, the office responsible for weapons and ammunition, it connects the machine guns shown in its subject matter to the shop floor at home. The poster was printed in New York in 1917, the year the United States entered the First World War, when the government was working to persuade civilian workers that production was a form of service. Credited to Roy Hull, it was one of many appeals meant to keep war industries running.
