Times have changed:

A vintage political poster from "LABOR DAY 1956".

The top features a large, red headline that reads "YOUNG REPUBLICANS SALUTE LABOR". To the right of the headline is a cartoon Republican elephant dressed as a worker, wearing a shirt and pants, carrying a lunchbox, and gesturing towards the text with its trunk.

The poster's text states: "America's free working men and women produce more and consume more than any other nation!"

A bulleted list follows, highlighting achievements such as:

GREATEST PROSPERITY IN HISTORY WITHOUT WAR

OVER 66,000,000 EMPLOYED

HIGHEST TAKE-HOME PAY IN HISTORY

GREATER JOB SECURITY

GREATER JOB OPPORTUNITY

LESS TIME LOST BECAUSE OF STRIKES

INCREASED UNION MEMBERSHIP

BEST WORKING CONDITIONS IN HISTORY

SOCIAL SECURITY EXPANDED

Below the list, it encourages readers to "ATTEND YOUR UNION MEETINGS!" and to "REGISTER VOTE REPUBLICAN".

The bottom of the poster identifies the sponsor as the "YOUNG REPUBLICAN LABOR COMMITTEE" in Washington, D.C.
