Boy! Did we do a day's work! They give the job all they've got!
Industrial morale poster: an older factory worker in a cap with a V badge strides from the plant gate, fist clenched, speaking in a balloon, with men and women workers and a smoking factory behind him. The ordinary worker speaking in his own voice is plain-folks, used to praise full effort on the job.
