We'll Take Care of the Rising Sun

Ask anyone who lived through WWII on the American "home front" about their experience, and the conversation will quickly turn to rationing. America had always been a land of abundance, but as soon as the U.S. entered the War, food shortages began and inflation rose. All of America's resources went to feeding the troops overseas. By 1943, it had become every citizen's duty to help reduce price gauging and lower inflation. The poster emphasizes seven steps that the average American could do to prevent inflation. Among these points include major themes of buying war bonds, conservation, and food rationing. The seven steps correspond to the seven letters that spell "Victory." This well illustrated poster highlights the attempt to eliminate inflation at home while soldiers fought overseas.
