What it is
A poster for women's war work by Adolph Treidler, dated between 1941 and 1945, held by the National Archives as 44-PA-229 in its World War II Posters series.
Why it matters
The government leaned on commercial advertising to bring women into the factories, and Treidler came from it: he drew covers and advertising for McClure's, Harper's, the Saturday Evening Post and Collier's, and his 1930s work for the Bermuda Board of Trade is credited with building Bermuda's tourism.
What to notice
Three words that give the factory floor a military rank, from an artist whose living had been the magazine cover and the advertisement.
A rank, given to the women at the bench.
