# Salvage for Victory and Be Proud!

Black-and-white woodcut: a man in a short-sleeved shirt carries a bundle of paper through flames, with a large gun and a small group of onlookers behind him. The headline 'Salvage for Victory' and the line 'And be proud!' attach pride to a household chore. The scrap-collecting ask is carried by virtue words and the gun imagery.
