# Enough - and on time

Long horizontal banner in italic red and navy capitals reading 'Enough - and on time', with an orange-red ordnance shell-and-flame emblem at the right and the Ordnance Department line below. There are no figures. The technique is faint: the sheet is a bare slogan, closest to glittering-generalities.
