How to Keep Warm With Less Fuel This Winter
Text-led notice with a drawing of a red-roofed house, a truck and two workmen, headed 'How to keep warm with less fuel this winter' and listing four home-insulation steps. The technique is faint: the closest is a mild urgency appeal in 'Act now... while men and materials are available'.
