Attributed to RCA in 1942 in "Design for Victory" (New York : Princeton Architectural Press, 1998), p. 60. According to this source, as well as "Posters Used by American Industries as War Production Incentives" (Boston, Mass. : S.D. Warren Co., 1942), and the Smithsonian Institution (http://americanhistory.si.edu/victory/victory4.htm), "Beat the promise" was the slogan of RCA's production incentive program. |
