Learn to keep your family strong & healthy - Join a Red Cross nutrition class
Red Cross poster: a figure built from vegetables and fruit, with potato limbs and an orange barbell, lifts weights beside the text 'Learn to keep your family strong & healthy' and 'Join a Red CROSS Nutrition Class'. The technique is faint; the closest is transfer, in which the Red Cross emblem and a playful strongman carry approval to the food message.
