This vintage original WWII poster was issued by the Solid Fuels Administration For War office in 1944 to help advise Americans on the home front of the need to order coal for winter heat early.  For this poster a befuddled penguin bundled up with scarf and winter cap stands on an ice block and holds an empty shovel with a scant couple lumps of coal at his feet. The whimsical image is bracketed by text that reads Don’t SHIVER Next Winter…Order Coal NOW! The artist’s name Arens appears in the lower left hand corner of the image and the lower margin indicates a 1944 publication date.

This vintage original WWII era poster has an address panel on verso and is folded as issued. This poster shows just slight toning and light handling and otherwise looks unused and in near mint condition.  Overall condition is excellent.
