Help RCA help USA, you and I, beat the promise
Company-sponsored production poster: a factory with smokestacks at the end of red-and-white stripes, the words 'Help RCA, Help USA' in perspective, and a handshake between a bare forearm marked 'You and I' and a sleeve with three stars on blue. The stripes and stars borrow the flag for a company, the transfer technique, while 'You and I' casts worker and firm as equals.
