US Poster Stamp Keep Your Country Growing Not Burning! Prevent Forest Fires

Vintage (Circa 1940-1950) US Poster Stamp Keep Your Country Growing – Not Burning! Prevent Forest Fires Unused No Gum. This Dramatic Poster Stamp Was Issued In The United States As Part Of A Mid-20th Century Public Awareness Campaign Promoting Forest Fire Prevention, Likely During The 1940s Or Early 1950s. The Bold Propaganda-Style Imagery And Slogan Reflect The Wartime And Postwar Shift Toward Civil Responsibility, Environmental Protection, And National Preservation. The Design Features A Forest Ablaze In Red Flames Behind A Row Of Houses, Highlighting The Threat Of Human-Caused Fires To Both Nature And Communities. The Slogan “Keep Your Country Growing – Not Burning!” Emphasizes Agricultural And Economic Growth While Warning Against Preventable Destruction. The Lower Banner Message “Prevent Forest Fires” Is Rendered In White Over A Red Background For Maximum Visual Impact. While Smokey Bear Was Introduced In 1944, This Stamp Reflects The Broader Messaging Movement Around That Era Before Smokey Became Universally Associated With Fire Prevention.
