Comment on It's Like Having 150 Extra Engineers (1951)parent

Given that "engineer" in those days practically always meant a white man, especially to the class that the advertisement was meant to reach, the heads are at least somewhat varied in age and hairstyle. The hands are probably the hardest thing to draw, so they were likely copied from a reference photo or sketch a bunch of times which does make them very similar.
