U.S. Government Printing Office 1943 Original Hardcover Very Good++ 22"W X 28"H
"Doctors are Scarce," this poster proclaims. "One out of three has gone to war. Be Prepared for minor injury - for minor illness. LEARN First Aid & Home Nursing" It bears the Civil Defense and the Red Cross logos. Look at the sacrifice! 1/3 of our doctors were serving their country! Centered on the bottom in small print is, "OWI Poster No. 27. Additional copies may be obtained upon request from the Division of Public Inquiries, Office of War Information, Washington, D.C." And in the lower right corner, "U.S. Government Printing Office: 1943-0-503156". It has been folded, as all WWII era posters from the Government Printing Office were - for mailing. Poster is bright and clean with a little wear on edges, at folds. Also a little roughness on edges with a small chip on right edge. Nice and hard to find poster. See photo.

Use It Up - Wear It Out - Make It Do! (POSTER)
U.S. Government Printing Office 1943 Original Very Good 22"W X 28"H
"Use It Up - Wear It Out - Make It Do!" This poster advises. The bottom message reads, "Our Labor and Our Goods Are Fighting" The illustration is bright and colorful depicting a woman with her sewing basket, patching the rear end of her husband's trousers - while he wears them! He is bent over his push lawn mower, oiling the wheels. Clever way to show yet more ways for Americans to sacrifice for the war effort. Centered on the bottom in small print is, "OWI Poster No.39. Additional copies may be obtained upon request from the Division of Public Inquiries, Office of War Information, Washington, D.C." And in the lower right corner, "U.S. Government Printing Office: 1943-0-506726". It has been folded, as all WWII era posters from the Government Printing Office were - for mailing. Corners of poster and bottom at center fold have tape residue. There is a 1 1/2" tear on the top at the center fold. There is faint ghosting across the top from having been folded. And light rubbed marks along first fold. See photo.
