Every man, woman and child is a partner
War Production Board poster: a red arrow quotes President Roosevelt over a crowd of workers seen from above, pointing to a blue panel of 1942 output figures: 60,000 planes, 45,000 tanks, 20,000 A.A. guns and 8,000,000 tons of ships. Selected production totals and a marching crowd present participation as general (bandwagon); only the figures the issuer chose to show appear (card-stacking).
