Physical Description
Text: Shoot Ships to Germany and help AMERICA WIN--Schwab - At this Shipyard are being built ships to carry to our men "Over There"--Food, Clothing, and the Munitions of War. Without these ships our men will not have an equal chance to fight. The building of ships is more than a construction job--it is our chance to win the war. He who gives to his work the best that is in him does his bit as truly as the man who fights. Delays mean danger. Are you doing your bit? Are you giving the best that is in you to help your son, brother, or pal who is "OVER THERE"? - United States Shipping Board, Emergency Fleet Corporation - Issued by Publications Section, Emergency Fleet Corporation, Philadelphia
