# Produce for Victory!

Colour painted-style poster from a commercial publisher: a close portrait of a helmeted soldier with a gas-mask canister at his neck. A quotation in his voice tells the factory worker 'We're all soldiers together' and that battle victories 'come right after your victories in production.' The slogan 'Produce for Victory!' closes the sheet. Testimonial plus transfer of the soldier's standing to the worker.
