Poster
Sir — don't waste
Poster with an illustration of a man eating at a table in a restaurant and smoking a cigar. Food is still on the plates in front of him. Male waiters in the background are looking back at him in alarm. The text reads: "Sir — don't waste while your wife saves. Adopt the doctrine of the clean plate — do your share." At the top left corner of the poster is the round seal of the U.S. Food Administration (shield with flag motif surrounded by wheat stalks). |
