This vintage original WWII poster was issued by the Office of War Information as OWI Poster No. 77 in 1943. This poster urges American’s to “Can All You Can” and features a bounty of fresh vegetables above the tagline “It’s A Real War Job!”. 

The USDA’s Victory Garden program begun during WWI and relaunched for WWII was a major success on the home front that saw millions of Americans growing and canning their own vegetables. This poster is vintage original folded as issued with moderate handling wear and modest toning from age. The poster has one or two pinholes on each corner and a small bit of silverfish activity on the back of the poster near the bottom edge.  The poster is free of tape and retains the original strong color.  Overall condition is very good.  This poster was issued folded and ships that way.
