Kinda give it your personal attention, will you?
Production poster in green and black: a helmeted infantryman with a rifle, mopping his brow, with spent cartridge cases at his elbow, speaks the casual line 'Kinda give it your personal attention, will you?' above the words 'More Production'. The soldier voices the request, a testimonial, in colloquial speech.
