# Let's go! Our quota is $ ____ 6th War Loan

Sixth War Loan poster with a blank to fill in a local dollar quota, two cartoon workers (a man in overalls and a woman with a wrench) pointing up a ladder-like chart of '% of workers buying' and '% of quota in dollars' marked from 25% to 125%. The chart invites a workplace to measure itself against a goal (bandwagon), and the ordinary workers speak for their fellows (plain folks).
