Aw, take the day off, pal, what have you got to lose? — American World War Two poster

American anti-absenteeism poster from the Second World War (1942) showing Hitler encouraging a worker to stay in bed instead of going to work. The text at the bottom reads: ‘Lay-offs cost lives! Keep ‘em firing!’ (‘lay-offs’ here meaning ‘slacking off’ rather than dismissal).

Printed professionally on premium matte paper.
