A rare collection of posters from the World War I era created in 1916 and 1917

Commissioned by the U.S. Committee on Public Information, more than 300 of America's best-known illustrators, cartoonists, designers, and fine artists created some 700 posters in an effort to build patriotism, raise funds for war bonds, encourage enlistment, and increase volunteerism during World War I. The Winds and Words of War is a rich collection of World War I-era posters created in 1916 and 1917 to motivate the country to abandon an isolationist position and connect with European allies against German aggression and tyranny. These images became an equalizing force in American culture, causing people from every walk of life to rally to the cause.

The San Antonio Public Library's permanent collection holds 450 of these posters, bequeathed in 1940 by Harry Hertzberg, former Texas state senator and avid memorabilia collector. The posters were created by a group of early twentieth-century American artists, among them Charles Dana Gibson, Howard Chandler Christy, James Montgomery Flagg, Guy Lipscombe, Charles Buckle Falls, Haskell Coffin, and Norman Rockwell. Using heroic images and patriotic slogans, the lithographs aimed to encourage support for troops by depicting military and civilian effort and sacrifice.

The works, many of which appeared on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post, are both a testament to the people who volunteered their service and creativity to the war effort and an excellent example of the period's advertising strategies and graphic design.

Get a longer launcher. This only throws 30 ft
Size: 1+3pack
Buy a longer launcher!!! I got what I paid for! A 12.2 inch launcher does not build up enough energy to throw it very far and it is tweaking my elbow. The dog is very disappointed since the ball only goes about 30 feet. I’ll keep it for small dog park use. The balls are hard and my 22 pound Cockapoo can’t get it to squeak.

These are dog tested and approved.
Size: 1-pack
The launcher works very well and will probably last forever unless your dog chews it up while bring it to you to get you to play, but the balls, well, they're not made for labs, that's for sure. That's the bad news. The good news is that worn out or abandon tennis balls fit the launcher just fine. Save your throwing arm. Do your dog(s) a favor. Buy this thing.

No angle for correct throwing
Size: 1-pack, Size: 1-pack
This item does not work. It is about ) inches tall. It’s tiny to bend over and pick up the ball. Has no angel for the ball to throw accurately. Ball goes downward. Would not recommend
