Original WWI 1917 United States Food Administration Home Card - Herbert Hoover

This piece of historical ephemera, titled "What You Can Do to Help Win the War," was a critical piece of American WWI home front propaganda. It was designed as a durable cardboard placard intended to be hung in the kitchen, serving as a daily reminder to the "Soldiers of the Kitchen" (American housewives) to voluntarily conserve food staples like wheat, meat, fats, and sugar. This conservation effort, symbolized by the USFA's famous slogan "Food Will Win the War," was essential for supplying American troops and Allied nations overseas.

Key Features:
* Authentic WWI Artifact (circa 1917-1918): Not a modern reproduction.
* Dimensions: 9" x 6"
* Content: Printed on both sides, detailing specific conservation guidelines for bread/cereals, meat, fats, sugar, and more, as requested by Herbert Hoover.
* Historical Significance: A direct tie to the American home front experience and the voluntary rationing programs of the Great War.
