About the Item

The 1946 original poster Produce Better, Live Better, designed by Courtesy Hazel, captures the spirit of post-war economic revitalization and consumer awareness in the United States. Featuring an image of stylishly dressed women with shopping carts full of goods, the poster highlights the growing importance of customer satisfaction and loyalty in the post-war marketplace. The text conveys a powerful message: "No one owns their customers. They can spend their money and take their choice." This reflects the economic freedom of consumers and emphasizes that businesses must offer fair, pleasant, and courteous service to maintain customer loyalty. The tagline, "Customer loyalty insures our jobs," reinforces the connection between consumer satisfaction and economic stability. The bold typography of Produce Better, Live Better at the bottom of the poster serves as both a call to action and a reflection of the post-war optimism that encouraged economic growth, efficiency, and quality service. This piece is not only a striking advertising poster but also an insightful glimpse into the commercial and social values of the late 1940s. A remarkable example of vintage advertising art, this poster remains a sought-after collectible for enthusiasts of historical commercial design, mid-century Americana, and post-war economic propaganda.
