A training school at the University of Virginia and a recruiting office at the U.S. Employment Service in Richmond, Virginia, are the specifics this color poster names, placing its appeal in the Upper South during the final year of the First World War. Herbert Paus is credited as the artist. With many men serving overseas and the country pressing to grow and ship more food, organizations such as the Woman's Land Army of America sought women to work on farms. The American flag that appears among its subjects ties the call to wartime patriotism, presenting farm work as a form of national service.
