Save Your Cans

A color poster featuring a woman's hand, holding out a can of tomatoes, projecting out from the right side of the poster.

White and blue text at the top and bottom of the poster reads: SAVE YOUR CANS / Help Pass the Ammunition/ PREPARE YOUR TIN CANS / FOR WAR / 1 REMOVE TOPS AND BOTTOMS / 2 TAKE OF PAPER LABELS / 3 WASH THOROUGHLY / 4 FLATTEN FIRMLY. The artwork is by McClelland Barclay, USNR. The War Production Board eagle emblem is located in the bottom left corner followed by the text: APPROVED BY SALVAGE DIVISION, WAR PRODUCTION BOARD.
