For You to Produce Cold Someone Must Burn Fuel: Save Fuel for Battle
Description
British Second World War poster proclamation-style promoting fuel savings. With the cost of the war mounting as the years passed, the British Government promoted domestic saving to provide more support for front line action. Many of these 'savings' posters associate home activities with front line activities, underscoring the concept of 'total war'. This particular poster targets the fuel and energy needed to produce cold and cooling, providing advice for how to economise fuel usage in this regard.
