Families Cooperate! 4th National Family Week (English-language pennant poster distributed in Asia)
A red triangular pennant with the slogan 'Families Cooperate!' and '4th National Family Week', with the dates 1 to 7 December 1952 printed on the white hoist strip. The sheet shows no scene or sponsor. The tell is glittering-generalities: 'cooperate' and 'family' carry the appeal without saying what is asked, with a mild bandwagon in the idea of a national observance.
