Industrial Health Influenza Sign
| Industrial Health and Safety sign or poster informing factory workers of the symptoms and prevention of "flu," or influenza. The sign reads: "The 'Flu' Is Increasing. No one knows the cause of this disease. It killed twice as many people in the United States last year as our armies lost in France. If You Want To Play Safe: 1. Keep away from sick people, especially if they cough or sneeze. 2. Use your handkerchief when you cough or sneeze. 3. Avoid crowded street cars, trains, or houses. 4. Don't spit on the floor. 5. Wash your hands before eating. 6. Keep your fingers out of your mouth. 7. Avoid common drinking cups. 8. Keep out of dusty places. 9. See the plant doctor if you are not feeling right." |
