Summary

Illustration shows a vignette cartoon with a bird's-eye view of Wall Street where an innocent lamb is standing in the middle of the deserted financial district. The surrounding vignettes show a banquet of hot dogs; a man buying eggs cheap, then trying to sell them to a stockbroker for 50 cents a dozen; an elderly man drinking wine with a beautiful young woman "Before the War", "And Now" disgruntled and at home with his wife; and three businessmen sitting on steps outside Federal Hall, quaffing lunch from a "full-dinner pail".

Illus. in: Puck, v. 76, no. 1966 (1914 November 7), centerfold.
