NAVY RECRUITING BUREAU 1918ITH splendid devotion tc the great cause, American artists came instantly forward and gave their services to the Navy. They came with a large heart and for no pay- The pages of this booklet testify to their patriotic willingness to serve the Navy in stimulating recruiting. Painters, poster-makers and illustrators of this country, and Mr. Brangwyn of England, Mr. Raemaekers of Holland, have done their work with distinction and often at personal sacrifice. Their artistic efforts have not only received the praise of critics but have filled the primary and important purpose of helping the Navy increase its enlisted personnel. The Navy expresses its thanks and appreciation. Rear Admiral, U. S.
