# Grow more, can more in '44

A smiling young woman in a straw hat and overalls, holding a hoe, gestures to a row of large glass jars of canned tomatoes, peaches, beans and beets. The slogan urges home growing and canning in 1944 and the sheet tells readers to get jars, caps and rings now. The cheerful gardener is the plain-folks figure. Quote: 'GROW MORE... CAN MORE... in '44'.
