Extremely rare (only 2 known to exist) anti axis banner showing Hitler getting rocked in the jaw by American war production due to those on the homefront eating right. In 1942, Servel Inc. started “Nutrition in Industry" which encouraged factory workers to eat a proper balanced diet to increase war production. They expanded this effort outside of their company with a campaign advertising the “victory lunch”, educating restaurants, local schools, and other factories on what to eat. Several posters, flyers, pins and placemats were produced to promote this campaign, including this banner, which was hung in the Servel factory. It was then rolled up, shoved in an attic and forgotten about. The ultimate homefront item.
Measures 36x176”
Condition- excellent, some light staining. Comes with original carrier bag.
