David B. Hill places a cap labeled “Gen’l Jones” on an old man’s head and hands him a sword labeled “Baltimore Blade.” The old man is wearing a sandwich board that states “Hill and Jones Political Outfitters, Opposition to Monopoly in the Hero Line! – Look at our War Record before purchasing elsewhere! – Try Jones’s Baltimore Brand! Jones pays the freight!!! – Don’t Forget that Jones is a General, too.” Hanging on the right are “Hancock’s Uniform” and “Sheridan’s Uniform.” In the background is another old man wearing a cap labeled “Gen’l Carr” standing outside the office of “Davenport and Carr Political Outfitters.” He is wearing a sandwich board that states “Carr’s Pat. B. Shirt – Dont deal with Traitors and Rebels! – Patronize the Old Veteran!” Mounted on the board is a bloody shirt. Caption: D. B. Hill “Here, Jones! – be a veteran, can’t you? You sail out there, too, and do some hero business for me and yourself!”
