Mas Esfuerzo Produccion (La Patria lo Pide)
A bare-backed worker pulls apart a chain above factory roofs, with a faint outline of a second figure behind him; the text reads 'More effort, production' and 'The fatherland asks it'. The tell is the appeal to 'La Patria' and union slogan 'Unity makes strength' as virtue words attached to higher output.
