Original Item; Only One Available.  Even before America's entry into World War II, and stretching over four years, a parade of scrap drives kept citizens busy. The drives started by collecting aluminum before moving to products such as tires, paper, tin, household fats, silk stockings and even coats for Russian refugees. Through it all, Americans combined a strong community spirit with fierce competition to salvage tons of products vital to the war effort. Salvaging represented another way Americans could contribute to the war effort in concert with other wartime programs. The process was again driven by shortages of vital materials such as rubber, tin and steel. In the overall effort, the conservation movement worked to reduce the consumption of war related materials; rationing attempted to fairly distribute the scarce commodities; and the salvage effort aimed to hunt down every pound of material that could be used to win the war.

This rare World War Two poster poster was printed by the WAR PRODUCTION BOARD and measures approximately 25" x 22" and is offered in good condition. Tin salvage drives were vital for the war effort and the vast majority fo these posters were discarded shortly after the Japanese surrendered.
