When You Ride Alone You Ride With Hitler

This dramatic and interestingly designed poster highlights the importance of ride sharing to reduce the need for new tires, as rubber was in high demand during the war. It was all part of an effort to involve citizens in the war effort. This was their opportunity to pitch in and help the national cause at a local level. During both of the World Wars, the idea that an individual could make a difference with their efforts was nurtured and developed. During WWII, posters played an important role in developing a sense of motivation and patriotism.

Weimer Pursell (1906-1974) was as an illustrator for Life, Esquire, and Forbes magazines, among many others. In posters, he produced American Art Deco style designs for Coca-Cola, American Airlines, Standard Oil, the Chicago World's Fair and more, although his work is extremely hard to find on the market today.
