Clock Day Light Ends Hour Saving Sunday

EDITORS COMMENTS
Saving Daylight Ends: Setting Your Clocks Back One Hour on Sunday, October 27, 1918 This historic poster marks the end of Saving Daylight Time in 1918. The practice, which aimed to conserve energy during World War I by extending the hours of daylight in the evenings, had been in effect since March of that year. With the war coming to an end and resources no longer a critical concern, it was time to return to standard time. The image on the poster shows Uncle Sam, the symbol of American patriotism, shaking hands with a clock-headed figure. The clock face reads "One hour of extra daylight," signifying the hour that was about to be regained. The clock figure wears a War Service medal, emphasizing the connection between the saving daylight movement and the war effort. The text at the bottom of the poster reads, "Set your clock back one hour at 2 AM Sunday, October 27, 1918." This instruction was a call to action for Americans to adjust their clocks and return to standard time. The date, "1918," is prominently displayed at the top of the poster, reminding viewers of the historical significance of this moment. This poster is a fascinating artifact from a time when the simple act of adjusting a clock was a patriotic act, and when the collective effort of a nation could make a difference in the war effort and in the daily lives of its people.
