"Delavci, tovarne so vaša last!" (Workers, the factories are your property!), workers' council election poster
Two men in work clothes and one in a suit lean over an unrolled plan before a window onto blast furnaces and chimneys, above the text 'Workers, the factories are your property! Confirm with your voting turnout your resolute will for the further development of workers' councils!' The ownership claim is a virtue-word appeal (glittering generalities), and the vote is framed as confirming a will that the sheet has already stated.
