Loose Talk Can Cost Lives - Keep it Under Your Stetson - Earring

Not all WWII posters were created by the US Government. This poster, part of a highly popular campaign, was created by Stetson Hats and warned of the dangers of sharing sensitive information about troop movements. Here, a prying spy ear listens in for important espionage infomation. Her earring is a tell with its Nazi emblems. The "Keep it Under Your Stetson" campaign of posters led the phrase to be just as popular a catch phrase as "Loose Lips Sink Ships" during WWII in America. This is a rare poster. Stetson was founded in 1865 by John B. Stetson in Philadelphia, after he returned from a trip out West and was not able to find a suitable hat for the expedition. He is known as the inventor of the cowboy hat, and the company continues to make them to this day (Stetson has been bought and sold several times since its founding).
