Jenny on the job - Keeps fresh as a daisy
Health-education poster in the 'Jenny on the job' series: a smiling cartoon woman war worker in a polka-dot shower cap washes with a mitt behind a curtain, her coveralls and shoes left beside it and a large yellow daisy in the foreground. The technique is faint; an ordinary co-worker models daily washing, with the daisy as a pleasant comparison in the slogan, a plain-folks presentation.
