Fight Talk: General Cable Corporation in World War II


This article reproduces the contents of a book published by the General Cable Corporation that reflects on the World War II poster campaign they produced from 1942 to 1945. This series of graphics promoted such issues as conservation/recycling, safety, thorough job performance, and security. The closing section of the publication has sepia photographic montages showing GCC plants and staff, and presents the achievements and awards received by the company and its employees.

This advertisement was produced in 1938 and appears to be a source of inspiration for the poster series. The original painting by Stevan Dohanos was presented to FDR in 1943.
