An Unfolded Special Poster (measures 13" x 18 1/2" [33 x 47 cm]) (Learn More) Use Care in Burning, the 1960 public service poster ("Remember: Only you can prevent woods fires!") advertising the U.S. Department of Agriculture's forest fire prevention campaign, featuring art of a farmer burning a brush pile after making a fire line with his tractor, and Smokey the Bear. Here is some background on Smokey the Bear: In 1944 the U.S. Forest Service issued a poster featuring "Smokey Bear", and he wore jeans and a campaign hat (what we now call a ranger hat). His slogan was "Smokey says - Care will prevent 9 out of 10 forest fires!". Over the next decade, Smokey would change in appearance as the artist who drew him changed, and he would get the slogan "Remember! Only you can prevent forest fires", and eventually, he became "Smokey the Bear"! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this special poster is printed on a heavy paper stock and can't be rolled. It must be sent in a large flat package. Condition: good to very good.
