A blog about an old bag full of vingage, original WWII Propaganda posters. I sort, archive and store the posters, publishing what I find out about the contents of the bag along the way. Please see the first post, "Overview of project" to learn how the posters were obtained. PLEASE LEAVE ME YOUR COMMENTS!

it's plain horse sense act / think SAFETY
Answers Mr. Ed's question, "What did you do during the war, Daddy?"
This lighthearted poster is a winking horse on a bright yellow background reminding workers to think about safety and reduce accidents. The seal on the poster reads, 'National Committee For Conservation of Man-Power in War Industries.' Printed along the bottom is U.S. Government Printing Office: 1942-O-466159. It measures 20" x 14". The artist is Ekman. I am not sure if it is the same person as Harry Ekman known for his drawings of 'pin up' girls.
