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 poster was printed on a heavy enough paper stock that it can't be rolled and must be sent in a large flat package. Condition: good to very good. The poster was printed on a paper with a "waxy-like" coating on both sides (no doubt so it could be displayed outdoors at campgrounds), and there are some creases and scuffs around the edges and some scattered in the image.
