Early, heavy, war-time propaganda short urging people to be careful with their spending practices, in effort to prevent any runaway inflation.
Using scare, guilt and patriotic jingoistic rhetoric, which was normal for the time, the government was concern that the sudden war-time production and therefore wage increase and subsequent spending practices if not checked could cause serious problems during and after the war.
It truly is a window into the past, historically and culturally.
