Uncle Sam stands on a sidewalk, holding wads of dollars. The street is lined with stores and shops offering goods from several European countries, and above each shop is a sign that gives the dollar amount of goods “Sold to Uncle Sam” in the previous year. On the street are representatives from “Austria, Italy, France, Germany, Russia, [and] England (John Bull),” hailing Uncle Sam. A penniless man labeled “Spain” is standing in the middle of the street. Caption: After careful consideration Europe seems inclined to admit that Uncle Sam is right – and a good customer.
