This all-text Australian Second World War poster was produced by General Motors Holden (GMH) likely in early 1942, and was likely produced for use in one of their factories. The poster is aimed at factory workers and the cumulative effect of taking small breaks, or having minor stoppages in work. The poster gives examples of how small amounts of time, when added up across the entire workforce soon add up to large losses in productivity. The poster concludes with the sentiment that time saved increases productivity, which in turn becomes Australia's ally, hence: "save time and save Australia!"
During the war, GMH re-tooled many of their production facilities, producing vehicle bodies, field guns, aircraft, and engines.
