Image Title: Shoot Ships To Germany And Help America Win - Schwab, 1917

Creator: Treidler, Adolph, 1886-1981, artist

Date: 1917

Summary: Poster showing two ships at sea, the larger one painted in camouflage, with text quoting Charles M. Schwab.

Notes: Text continues: At this shipyard are being built ships to carry to our men "over there" - food, clothing, and the munitions of war. Without these ships our men will not have an equal chance to fight. The building of ships is more than a construction job - it is our chance to win the war. He who gives to his work the best that is in him does his bit as truly as the man who fights. Delay means danger. Are you doing your bit? Are you giving the best that is in you to help your son, brother, or pal who is "over there"?
