Cut Wolf Trees for Fuel
Fuel-wood poster: a man in overalls with an axe in one hand and a scythe over his shoulder looks up into the branches of a large spreading tree in a forest, over a red banner with the slogan. The technique is faint: plain-folks, in the ordinary working man presented as the model for the request.
