On the left, J. P. Morgan, with an oil can labeled “Legislation,” oils the “Wall St.” engine of a large machine. Above is a “Deposits Steam Pipe” and nearby is a sign that states “Keep Out of the Engine Room.” A large belt labeled “Control of ‘Other Peoples Money'” turns the “Public Service Machine” which operates a device with spokes, the ends of which are shaped like spiked shoes. As the Public Service Machine revolves, the ends of the spokes kick a man labeled “American Citizen” in the rear as he shovels coal labeled “Savings” into a boiler labeled “Syndicate Bank Boiler Co.” Caption: Around and around and around!
