Stick To Your Job
| Poster including two cartoon panels. In the first on the left, a workman smoking a cigarette and with his coat over his arm is trying to shake hands with a coworker. The man with the coat is saying: "I'm tired of this job, John — I'm going to try something else that's easy." Next to him appear the words "At the age of 19." John the coworker is replying: "You've got the wrong idea — you better stick to a good job when you have it." A cartoon blackbird is commenting: "He'll regret it later on." In the second panel on the right, the man with the coat is now older and shabbily dressed, and marked: "At the age of 50." He is standing outside the employment agency as a convertible is speeding past with a well-dressed man in it. The shabbily dressed man is saying: "There goes John. If I had stuck to my job the way he did, I wouldn't be here now." The blackbird is commenting: "He would stick to a good job if he had one now. But it's too late." Poster text reads: "STICK TO YOUR JOB. The man who jumps from one job to another never learns enough about any particular class of work to become valuable in it. " |
