Gordon Grant used a realistic style to create this vibrant poster, aiming to help World War I veterans transition from the trenches to the workforce. We see a soldier in his distinctive campaign hat, clutching his 'Honorable Discharge' papers, stepping onto a 'Welcome' mat toward a bright yellow door labeled for returning soldiers. It’s a clever piece of government advertising that reassures veterans they aren't forgotten, while simultaneously telling employers that the U.S. Employment Service is the best place to find reliable labor.
