This Town Is Your Home
Poster with two cartoon panels. In the first, silhouetted figures are working in the yard in front of a large house with a public school and a factory with smokestacks in the background. A cartoon blackbird is commenting: "Be as proud of your town and its industries as you are of your home." In the second panel, a man and woman carrying packages are looking into the shop window of a dry goods store. On the window is a sign that reads: "For the good of this town, buy what you need at home — for that is where you earn the money to buy." The man says: "It's only fair that we do our buying at home." Poster text reads: "THIS TOWN IS YOUR HOME. Help to make it a better home by CO-OPERATING with its merchants and business men. TREAT YOUR INDUSTRIES FAIRLY and they must be fair to you." |
