Did you get him enough... on time?, 1945 US poster: Film-promotion poster showing a close photograph of a grimy, helmeted

Did you get him enough... on time?

Film-promotion poster showing a close photograph of a grimy, helmeted soldier who looks straight at the viewer, beside a headline that turns a question about factory output into a question about the front line. The headline reads 'Did you get him ENOUGH... ON TIME?'. The question puts the reader's own output in the soldier's place at the battle line, and the sheet advertises a 20-minute film, 'Enough and On Time'.
