This vintage original WWII poster was issued to remind factory workers of the importance of high quality mistake-free work in support of the war effort. The bottom of the poster is printed with the “Work to Win” slogan which was used on posters mostly dated 1943 and 1944. We don’t find any other examples of this poster but it is almost certainly one issued by private industry to motivate defense plant workers.

This vintage original poster has a small notch about a half inch deep off the top edge and is otherwise fully complete. The poster shows moderate handling wear including a few scuffs and light creasing in places. There is a staple hole and a couple small nicks on the top edge and some foxing on the back of the poster not affecting the front side. Overall condition is otherwise very good. This poster was issued folded.
