Fight in the Streets - Belong to Your Savings Group
Two white stick figures charge with fixed bayonets, each carrying a 'National Savings 2/6 For Victory' stamp as a shield, toward a black blast headed 'Fight in the Streets'. The poster moves the prestige and urgency of street combat onto joining a savings group, which is the transfer tell; the call itself is to belong to 'Your Savings Group'.
