A young woman labeled “Textile Industries” stands between two men, gathering a ball of yarn. The older man on the left is labeled “New England,” and although his hands are extended, they are empty. The man on the right wears a broad hat labeled “New South.” Next to his chair is a coal bucket labeled “Cheap Fuel,” and draped over his hands is “Southern Cotton” from which the woman is gathering her ball of yarn. Caption: Old Mr. New England (querulously)–Here, hold on there! I’m your steady company. Miss Cotton-Mills (sweetly)–Yes; but that doesn’t mean I’m not to receive the attentions of other eligible young men!
