Will You Co-operate Or Will You Obstruct?
Image
Poster featuring a cartoon panel showing a man with a sledgehammer standing on a terrace labeled: "American Industries." At his feet is a piece of paper titled: "Stick To Your Job, My Boy. Uncle Sam." The man is tipping his hat to an image of Uncle Sam in the clouds and saying: "You bet I will!" A cartoon blackbird at bottom right is commenting: "That's the stuff!" Poster text reads: "WILL YOU CO-OPERATE OR WILL YOU OBSTRUCT? President Wilson. American Needs Its Man Power Sticking to your job will help shorten the war and pave the way for a prosperous peace. The demand for supplies for Our Boys 'Over there' is so great that every bit of man power we possess is needed. If you can't enlist, get a Job and hold on to it. IT'S YOUR WAY TO HELP 'LICK THE KAISER.'"
