The poster features a cartoon of a carload of female factory workers leaving an American factory visible in the background. They are stopped alongside a broken down tank with three Army soldiers, one of whom is attempting repairs. The women lean over with the inquiry, “’Need any help?’” Visible on the grounds in front of the factory are two large sign boards with the messages “GOOD BUY WAR BONDS AND STAMPS / GOOD BYE AXIS TRAMPS” and “SHARE ALL YOU CAN SPARE.” The artist’s facsimile signature is in the lower right corner of the artwork: “Garrett Price.”
