"My war job protects their future" "That's why I'm working for victory"
Industrial-morale poster: a close-up of a war worker in cap and overalls with a numbered badge, and beside him a woman and two children by a white picket fence and a house. The two quoted lines are in the worker's own voice, a testimonial by an ordinary worker, with the family as the stated reason for the job.
