# Give 'em hell boys, you can bank on US!

A grinning worker in a cap holds a large wrench above a photomontage of men in green fatigues assembling a heavy machine. The headline speaks to the troops on behalf of the plant, and the company name sits at the foot. Factory workers are set alongside servicemen in one image (transfer), shown as ordinary working men (plain-folks).
