Our Three Lines of National Defense
![Poster featuring a cartoon illustration of a mass of soldiers with a flag and cannon, and behind them a large ship labeled: "USN" [United States Navy], and a factory labeled: "American Industries." Poster text reads: "OUR THREE NATIONAL LINES OF DEFENSE. The smoke of America's factory stacks is a signal of our workers' and employers' loyalty. IT MEANS MORE GUNS - MORE SHIPS — MORE FOOD. Our Industries are the third and main supporting lines of defense — our base of supplies. Without them the Army and Navy would be helpless. As good patriots let us strive to keep our industries strong."](http://images.wisconsinhistory.org/700017020003/1702000044-l.jpg "Our Three Lines of National Defense")
