The "The Battle Line is Not Alone in France!" broadside was originally issued by the Department of Labor under Secretary William Bauchop Wilson during World War I. Broadsides are single sheets with information printed on one side that are intended to be posted and publicly circulated. According to the Historian's Office of the Department of Labor, copies of these broadsides were originally displayed on the intersection of 16th and I Streets NW in Washington, D.C and at 1706 G Street NW, Washington D.C.
Generally, messages on these World War I era broadsides encourage economic support for the war through increased production on the home front.
This primary source comes from the General Records of the Department of Labor.
