During World War II, the U.S. government used posters extensively to convey important messages and encourage the public to adopt behaviors that would support the war effort. These posters often featured strong visuals and concise, impactful slogans to effectively communicate their messages.

The "Go Easy on the Hot Water" poster is an example of a conservation message aimed at encouraging the public to save resources critical to the war effort. This poster, likely produced by the Office of War Information, illustrates the importance of conserving hot water. It depicts three stages of showering: wetting, lathering, and rinsing, with instructions to turn the water off while lathering. This conservation effort was essential during the war when resources like fuel and energy were in high demand for military use.

Conserving hot water was part of a broader campaign to reduce domestic consumption of resources so that more could be diverted to support the troops overseas. By reducing the amount of hot water used, citizens could help save fuel, which was needed to heat the water. This was just one of many ways that Americans were encouraged to contribute to the war effort from home.
