It's the first I recall seeing them here. An astonishingly high-quality version
of that 1918 poster is available here:

It's 2365✕4200 pixels and is better than what the Library of Congress publishes.
And all for a poster containing false propaganda! Although farmers opposed
daylight saving time, city-dwellers were told via posters like this that farmers
liked DST, and the resulting confusion persists to this day.
