"Freedom's just another word for you only have to keep the pretty ones."
I have proudly low standards for covers, and here's one from Cuba that squeaked over that high bar:
Cuban machine slogan cancels have been compiled by Mr Robert Littrell at:
http://www.cubafil.org/MemberPages/Slogans/Slogan.html
The slogan on my cover was in use 1940-1955, and is to be found about 2/3 of the way down Mr Littrell's page as "FDC-1".
Working conditions in the tobacco industry in were the subject of this 1915 painting by Gonzalo Bilbao MartÃnez ...
... that the mother had to bring her baby to work with her was considered the bad news. Nowadays, we consider it a privilege!

Thanks to PhilB for posting the image of that Swiss military cover. I had no idea those stamps existed. What wonderful designs! I gotta get me some...

Bob, we had an old Swiss gent stop at our club one evening..he had binders of the Swiss military stamps and covers...at the time it was one of the most amazing collections i had ever seen. I have seen them sold both ways...some dealers want an arm and a leg for them and others like the one shown here can be quite reasonable.

I also like triangular postmarks.

In the British Empire triangular postmarks are used for printed matter. This cover likely carried a religious tract or homily. Printed matter postmarks from smaller areas of the empire are harder to find. I am guessing that the code SE stands for Singapore.
