What it is
A production poster signed Sarka for the Graphics Division of the Office of Facts and Figures, printed by the U.S. Government Printing Office, held by the National Archives as 44-PA-128 and dated between 1941 and 1945.
Why it matters
The War Production Board, set up in January 1942 under Executive Order 9024, converted industry to war work, and this sheet asks the factories for the supply.
What to notice
Sarka's signature on the sheet, and the slang of the title: give 'em the stuff.
Supply, asked for in the street's own words.
