Two versions of this poster exist using the same image, but vary in the text. This one Quotes industrialist Steel magnate Charles Schwab, "At this shipyard are being built ships to carry to our men "over there" - food, clothing, and the munitions of war. Without these ships our men will not have an equal chance to fight. The building of ships is more than a construction job - it is our chance to win the war. He who gives to his work the best that is in him does his bit as truly as the man who fights. Delay means danger. Are you doing your bit? Are you giving the best that is in you to help your son, brother, or pal who is "over there"?
This poster is frequently and erroneously credited to “Schwab” as the artist in the occasional auction and catalog listing.
