Photomontage composition showing a bar graph made of strips of floor boards with the years from 1924 to 1931 along the bottom apparently showing the sales growth of "Double X Floor Cleaner" during that time. Superimposed are photographic images of small men wearing lederhosen and holding picks and ropes scaling the bar graph. A strong light casting a dark shadow against the wall behind, enlarges the figures and graph bars, increasing the drama of the scene and giving it a cinematic aspect.
