Eight men dressed in suits and paper hats with the word 'Mars' printed on them, stand in front of a chart with the title 'the ATLAS Spaceship, Navigator - John Douglas, Pilots - Wm. Albea and Lou Davenport, Goal - 200 members.' The chart has a list of members and their cash donations organized weekly.
