# Oh, Boy That's the Girl! The Salvation Army Lassie. Keep Her on the Job

A uniformed Salvation Army woman carries a tray of doughnuts above a grinning helmeted soldier biting into one, under the slogan 'Oh, Boy! that's the Girl!' The soldier's delight stands in for the donor's goodwill: the poster attaches the pleasure of a hot doughnut at the front to a request to give to the United War Work Campaign.
