About

Ess-Ar-Gee ( Goff, Henry Sharp Jr. )

==Ess Ar Gee,== also written as Essargee and other variations, is actually the pen name for the artist Henry (Seymour?)Sharp Goff Jr. For an artist whose iconic images have transcended the Second World War for which they were created, very little is known about him. Goff created images for the Seagram Distillers Corporation of New York, his most famous are the "Loose Lips Might Sink Ships" often misquoted as "Loose lips- sink ships" and the "No Room for Rumors" posters in 1943. Both of these posters were widely distributed and warned war production employees against careless talk.
