Produce for Victory!
Colour photographic poster from a commercial publisher: a lined-faced worker in goggles and leather jacket holds a letter, with a cap bearing a red star under his arm, above a quotation about his two sons in the Army asking for supplies so they can 'blast Tokyo and Berlin off the map'. Family testimonial; the threat language is aimed at enemy cities.
