Appreciate America: In unity there is strength
Poster in red, white and blue: Uncle Sam in the centre rests a hand on the shoulder of a shirtless worker with a sledgehammer and of a businessman in a suit holding papers, with factories, a ship, trains and a plane below and the arched line 'In unity there is strength'. The tell is identity-fusion and glittering generalities: labor, management and the nation are shown as one body.
