X amount of "your metal" did so & so; patriots appreciate knowing results of their efforts.
Nowadays, well I'll just say that pitch is grossly misused.

"KEEP 'EM ROLLING" Apparently it worked.

Long way from the workplace posters of today.

to make men free....and yet the women are still expensive. they must be worth a lot more.

It says to make the men free, a woman is never free!!!! But some are worth it at twice the price!!!

As we know, "Men" in that context means society overall.

Military training manuals prefaced these words 'men' and 'women', almost the same way. It stated the terms were not interchangeable, or one superior; manuals used 'woman' where it was critical, like all other instances referring to 'people', 'crew', etc.
The overwhelming useage addressed everyone 'men' (in a sentence that I still recall today) as "economy in language".

Still admire that bit of direct explanation.
