The Shot That Will Win The War
Image
Poster featuring a cartoon illustration of three men riding on a bomb. The bullet is labeled: "Industrial Co-operation," and the men are Uncle Sam, a Wage Payer, and a Wage Earner. Flying over them is an eagle, which is holding a banner that says: "Victory." A cartoon blackbird is riding on the front of the bomb and commenting: "This shot will win the war!" Poster text reads: "THE SHOT THAT WILL WIN THE WAR United action by America's industrial partners will shorten and win this struggle for human freedom. It is the heaviest shot our Democracy can fire at wage-earners' and wage-payers' common foe — Autocracy. EVERY LOYAL WORKER AND EMPLOYER CAN RIDE TO VICTORY UNDER THE EAGLE'S WINGS WITH UNCLE SAM."
