"There is a rich land to the south" -- the Pan-American Mercury to the yankee manufacturers / Keppler.

Illustration shows the Roman god Mercury wearing a hat labeled "Pan-American Union" and draped in cloth the color of the American flag and South American flags; he is pointing to a large globe showing "South America" and telling a group of mostly old men who are North American manufacturers that South America is ripe for exploitation.

Caption: They jeer and scoff at him now as others jeered and scoffed at Columbus when he told them of a land to the west.
Illus. in: Puck, v. 69, no. 1778 (1911 March 29), centerfold.
