Help My Daddy Win

Image

Kensell Willingham, son of a worker out for eight months on strike against O'Sullivan Rubber Company, holds a sign that reads "Help My Daddy Win". Caption taped on the back of the original reads: "The Winchester, Virginia Corporation is now trying to break his daddy's union by importing out-of-state strikebreakers. You can help Kensell's daddy win the strike by refusing to buy O'Sullivan heels and soles. Show how you feel. Don't buy from America's No. 1 Heel."
