The EMB\'s main function was to increase sales of Empire-grown and Empire-made goods throughout Great Britain, its Dominions and its Colonies. One aspect of its activities was a poster campaign that was designed to turn Britons into \'Empire-conscious\' consumers. Over 200 posters were acquired by Manchester Art Gallery in the 1930s.
