OWI No. 37. Government Printing Office. Color poster of soldier, Thomas J. Murray, smiling and holding a large metal cup. The soldier wears a helmet and an olive-colored shirt.
Thomas J. Murray, who died on October 16, 2002 at the age of 87 and was buried with military honors. According to his obituary, which appeared in the Albany Times Union, October 18, 2002, Murray served as the face for rationing from 1943-1945 through this poster. This poster became so popular that the war office reprinted a larger version with a slightly different headline.
