A freight train has departed a railroad station labeled “Producer” in the countryside and is passing through a tunnel labeled “Parcels Post Tunnel” in a mountain labeled “Mount Middleman” that has the figure of a man on its side. The front of the train has emerged on the city-side of the mountain and is headed toward a station labeled “Consumer” where a crowd of people are anxiously waiting. Caption: Mount Middleman is no longer an insurmountable barrier between producer and consumer.
