Father Knickerbocker, the traditional symbol of New York City, “N.Y.” sits atop buildings on New York’s waterfront. Strings attached to his fingers extend to ships at the dock and beyond, presumably to overseas connections. In the background is a small figure labeled “Neptune” holding a trident and standing on Chicago’s waterfront area, with a sign stating “Chicago 1000 miles to the sea” and with factories spewing thick black smoke. Caption: Father Knickerbocker. — That’s all right; but what you need is less smoke and more salt water!
