Description
British Second World War poster aimed at encouraging the restrictive use of gas and electricity, owing to its reliance upon coal for production. Posters such as these, encouraging Britons to conserve certain essential goods, were common. They aimed at reducing domestic goods to both reduce reliance upon international shipping through the Merchant Navy and to divert resources directly to essential war purposes.
