# Green's Go for Greens Every Day

Large green and cream letters on a dark blue ground read 'Green's for Go for Greens every day', with a cabbage leaf at lower right. The poster is a wordplay slogan urging daily vegetables; the only appeal is 'Go' as a vitality word, with no figures or claims, so it is tagged to the closest honest fit.
