Produce for Victory! America is great because liberty-loving Americans have made it great
Colour photograph of a young woman in a work shirt at a lathe, looking at the viewer, above an unattributed quotation that says freedom must be wanted enough 'to work for it, to fight for it, to die for it'. 'Produce for Victory!' closes the sheet. Virtue words (America, liberty, freedom) plus an ordinary worker as the example.
