Don't Blame It All On The War!
| Poster includes a cartoon panel showing a scale. On one side, which is labeled: "Price to Consumer," are weights labeled: "Supply, Demand, Quality, and Waste." On the other side, which is labeled Cost of Production, are larger weights labeled:" Wages, Overhead, Materials, Taxes, Strife, Agitation, and Legislation." Poster text reads: "DON'T BLAME IT ALL ON THE WAR! Do YOU know that the price of many articles you buy is materially increased by laws which add to production costs, imposing unnecessary or excessive taxation and fomenting discord instead of promoting good will between wage-earners and wage-payers? YOU complain of high prices, but have YOU ever done anything to discourage these price-boosting factors? DON'T KICK AT THE PRICE KICK AT THE REASONS!" |
