Men working together!
Landscape poster on orange: black-and-white photographs of a helmeted soldier, a smiling worker with a coil of cable over his shoulder and a sailor in a white cap, under a brush banner 'MEN WORKING' and the word 'TOGETHER!'. It presents the services and industry as one effort (bandwagon) through ordinary men in work and uniform (plain-folks), and asks nothing specific.
