# I'll stick to my job! ...Because I can make good right here!

Industrial morale poster: a smiling worker in a cloth cap gives a thumbs-up beneath a speech balloon reading "I'll stick to my job!". The ordinary workman speaking in the first person is the plain-folks device; the ask is to stay in one's war-plant post. The sheet's second line is "...Because I can make good right here!"
