![An offset lithograph on paper print mounted on blue paper which advertises Stetson Hats. In the center a photograph of a grey Stetson hat is placed on top of a blue printed head shown in left-facing profile and covered with trigonometric workings in white. In the lower left a small factory is silhouetted against a yellow sky, with dark grey smoke billowing from a chimney towards the right and two windows outlined in white. A shaft of light, as if from a torch, illuminates the back of the head to our right. Text in yellow and white found above the head reads [The enemy wants to know what you know...], with the word 'you' in white, and the rest in yellow; while text below the head reads [Keep it under your STETSON], with the word [STETSON] in capital letters. The work is signed in the lower right corner of the print [E. McKnight Kauffer] in white.]( https://images.collection.cooperhewitt.org/55913_62071656282d1719_b.jpg
