Can Manufacturing is an Essential Industry, the 1940s U.S. World War II (WWII) Home Front poster ("The War Manpower Commission has issued occupational bulletin No. 40 which certifies can manufacturing as an activity essential to the war effort. Mr. Paul V. McNutt, chairman, War Manpower commission, made the following statements in a nation-wide radio speech February 13, 1943. The statements were in explanation of the recent order concerning the selective service status of men engaged in certain specified occupations. Among other things, Mr. McNutt said: 'Just what is a war job? Is it simply a job making planes, or ships, or ammunition, or bomb sights? Of course not. It is any job which is useful to the war. ...We must grow food. We must process that food, put it into containers, transport it to the point of consumption...' Continental's production activities are 100% devoted to the war effort. Every container being manufactured today, for whatever purpose, is subject to the approval and restrictions of the War Production Board.") featuring information about manufacturing during the war and art of several factories.

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Important Added Info: Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube.

Condition: very good. There is some separation in the right edge of the center horizontal fold (see our image). It is otherwise in pretty nice condition.
