Keep 'em Rolling with Philco Quality
This is a fine print reproduction of a WWII era screen-print poster for Philco, also known as the Philadelphia Storage Battery Company. Established in 1906, Philco spearheaded early battery, radio, and eventually, television innovation and production.
Shortly after the attack of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 Philco garnered military contracts and quickly converted their manufacturing facilities to support the war effort. The company helped research and produce radar, radios, batteries, and other electronic equipment, as well as proximity fuses for artillery shells.
The posters produced for Philco were not made for public consumption, but rather likely hung in and around their manufacturing facilities, engineering labs, and offices to boost morale and encourage their employees to maintain the highest standards of "Philco quality."
This present example features two soldiers walking beside a tank that roams the European countryside. An example of a U.S. Army signal corps radio transmitter appears in the lower right corner.
