Poster with two cartoons under the headline. The cartoon on the left shows a man is nailing a sign to a padlocked door, which is labeled "Opportunity." The sign reads: "Don't try it, This is a tough job." A cartoon blackbird standing at his feet is commenting: "The wrong method." In the cartoon on the right a smiling man labeled "Booster" is opening the "Opportunity" door, and the words "Success" and "More Pay" are coming out the door. The man is carrying papers that say "Ability — That Pull-together Spirit." The cartoon blackbird standing at his feet is commenting: "This door is never locked to the booster." The rest of the poster reads: "The booster uses a knocker to open the door, but the knocker never enters. WHICH WILL YOU BE?"
