Poster. Laid down onto board

summary

This poster designed by Charles Edward Chambers and issued by the United States Food Administration, implies to newly-naturalized citizens that the way to repay America for its welcome mat, is by supporting the Allies in the war effort: “You Came Here to Find Freedom, Now You Must Help to Defend it. We Must Supply the Allies With Wheat. Do Not Let Anything Go to Waste.” See Judah L. Magnes Museum Catalogue, Witnesses to History: The Jewish Poster (1989) p. 16.
