CORN The Food of The Nation

World War I poster entitled: "CORN The Food of The Nation" and "Serve Some Way Every Meal - Appetizing, Nourishing, Economical." The poster shows a color drawing of a housewife who is mixing batter in a bowl that is resting on a tabletop beside glass jars of "Corn Meal," "Grits," and "Hominy." Plates of corn muffins and pancakes and a pitcher of syrup are also shown on the table in the foreground. The artist's name, "Lloyd Harrison," is shown near the lower left corner of the drawing. Additional printed text along the bottom of the poster shows "United States Food Administration." Small printed text in the lower left corner shows "Harrison-Landauer, Inc., Baltimore."
