John E. Sheridan Promotes Literacy
The United War Work Campaign set out to raise $170 million in the final week of the war from November 11–18, 1918. Of the seven participating service organizations that collected money for war work at home and abroad, the American Library Association focused its fundraising on supplying books and magazines to the soldiers. This spirited poster was created by John E. Sheridan who attended Georgetown College and designed a number of posters promoting athletic events at his own, as well as other colleges and universities before the war. |
