This poster encourages Canadians to provide books and magazines to members of the Canadian military, including the Royal Canadian Navy.

Service caps represent the Royal Canadian Navy (top), the Royal Canadian Air Force (right), and the Canadian Army (bottom). The National Salvage Office, which co-ordinated the salvage and recycling of materials for wartime use, issued this poster as part of a broader campaign encouraging recycling. In addition to books and magazines, fats, bones, aluminum, tin foil, rags, glass, rubber, metal saucepans, iron fences, and used clothing were collected for recycling into armaments, munitions, and other essential war supplies.
