# Produce for Victory!

Colour photographic poster from a commercial publisher: a welder in a mask and gloves, sparks flying, above a paragraph listing factory sounds that 'echo' the slogan 'Remember Pearl Harbor'. The slogan 'Produce for Victory!' closes the sheet. The technique is transfer: the emotion of the Pearl Harbor attack is attached to factory output.

The hum of the motor . . . the pound of the
punch press . . . the rat-a-tat-tat of the riveter
. . . the flash of the welder . . . the thunder of
the rolling mill . . . the roar of America in pro-
