Great pair of posters from World War II here, mostly aimed at American soldiers finding themselves in Britain amongst a lot of lonely ladies. The first one is the perfect short line of copy, with a kind of symmetry that puts "say" in the middle, then "know" and "no" rhyming either side, then "who" and "to" rhyming either side of that. It's got a great rhythm to it, too.
This one seems more old fashioned, like one of those old allegorical cartoons, or even a Hogarth drawing - whereas the previous one, disregarding the slight misogynistic overtones, could have been made now.
