This bottle is what is referred to as a 'War Slogan' or 'War Theme' milk bottle as the advertising on it promoted efforts to support the war.  In this case it was encouraging the populace to avoid waste to promote the war (WW II) effort.  This bottle was deposited so it could be used again and not thrown away as materials such as metals, glass, etc. were used in the construction of such airplanes as the P-40 Warhawk, F4U Corsair, P-38 Lightning, P-51 Mustang fighters, bombers like the B-17 Flying Fortress, B-24 Liberator, B-25 Mitchell, and B-29 Superfortress.  Also the Arizona and Oklahoma battleships, Enterprise, Hornet, and Lexington aircraft carriers.   Also armament & ordinance used to fight Japan / Adolph Hitler / Nazi Germany & the Axis powers.   WW II war theme milk bottles are a very popular category of collecting and this one is a nice example of just this sort of thing with the Patriotic Eagle &Shield motif, the right stuff,
