Construction Workers can volunteer now for service in Army or Navy
Red, white and blue recruiting poster: a helmeted construction worker looks out above the words 'Construction Workers can Volunteer now for service in Army or Navy', with two boxes giving age limits for voluntary induction and enlistment. 'Fight and work with Navy Seabees, Army Engineers' ties the appeal to a civilian trade, a plain-folks approach.
