We are unable to locate a single other example of this one. WWII poster encouraging canning of crops to help save food for the war effort. Awesome graphics of a can phasing into soldiers marching over a nice neighborhood as a female looks over them. Slogan says “unless you pack it, our boys can’t eat it!” The bottom section of this poster has an added extension which was glued on during the war, showing civilians where to sign up and bring cans. The location was sponsored by the crop corps and food for freedom. The crop corps would help can for the boys overseas, and this poster helped recruit them. Measures 17×25” Condition- good, some staining and small tears (one sizable, about 2.5”), fold line creasing, some fixed with acid free archival tape, some with cellophane tape.
