# It's just got to be right!

Company-sponsored sheet: a factory hold tag marked STOP, 'Hold until approved', sits beside a yellow disc carrying the slogan 'It's just got to be right!'. The technique is faint here; the slogan is a bare standard of quality and the tag supplies the workplace setting.
