American posters focused on tradition and patriotism with largely positive messages and could be found anywhere that did not already have paid advertisements, including schools, railway stations, malls, restaurants and apartment buildings (Poster Campaigns, Terrance). War posters were made available in these establishments in a range of sizes including small flyers, long banners and large outdoor billboards (Poster Campaigns, Terrance). The Office of War Information had the control and responsibility of the distribution of propaganda posters around the nation (A thousand words). These advertised posters were designed and created by nationwide artists who were paid by the government which ultimately was a clever strategy because it benefited both parties financially (A Thousand words). The government would host competitions for artists around the nation to design posters to create artistic involvement and widen their options of choosing the catchiest posters (Poster Campaigns, Terrance). These posters were rather sneaky due to the fact that they took two sides which comprised of being the patriotic support of the war but also creating large sums of income for war industrialists (A thousand words). War posters were put up by civilian volunteers including the Boy Scouts of America who alone put up one million posters a month for the Office of War Information which ultimately saved the government a lump sum of money (Poster Campaign). Many production companies of war materials distributed posters to encourage employees to work longer days and improve working techniques (A Thousand words). Thus, longer hours as well as faster and more durable workers resulted in more production of war supplies (A Thousand Words). With the government's production of propaganda posters soaring, the nation was fully behind them and engaged in the war (A Thousand Words). The War Advertising Council was one of the leading organization and delivered some of America's most remarkable wartime campaigns (A Thousand Words).
