A Better Home
Rural Electrification Administration poster: a red-dot pattern and a blue banner reading 'A Better Home' above a photograph of a woman lifting a tray of biscuits from an electric oven. The technique is faint; the sheet pairs a general benefit word with a domestic photograph and does not make an explicit claim.
