An Original Vintage Folded Two-Sided World War II Poster (measures 18 1/2" x 25 1/2" [47 x 65 cm]) (Learn More) Of Course I Can, the 1944 U.S. World War II (WWII) Home Front poster ("'I'm patriotic as can be - And ration points won't worry me!"') supporting the conservation of perishable goods, and featuring Dick Williams art of a woman holding several canned goods. There is text on the back of the poster that reads: "You can help to keep our nation well fed by displaying this poster. Home canning is tremendously important this year. Our armed forces are taking the largest percentage of commercially canned fruits and vegetables on record. This year civilians will have less commercially canned fruits and vegetables than ever before. Home canning is the answer... not only for the individual... but every quart of fruits or vegetables canned at home adds just so much more to the total supply. This poster will encourage home canning. Won't you display it... prominently. You will be helping to solve one of the most difficult problems in the world today. You will be helping the war... and the peace. Thank you!". The U.S. government was dealing with this situation by "rationing" canned fruits and vegetables, by giving each citizen a "ration card" that established how much they could purchase from stores, and they were hoping to get more people doing home canning, to ease the massive shortages of canned goods.
