Once more he leads the world

Throngs of people with wads of money in their hands make their way to the gambling casino at Saratoga, New York. Uncle Sam stands to the right, thumbs in his suspenders, boasting about having the largest gambling facility in the world. Caption: Uncle Sam — Biggest trade, biggest trusts, biggest buildings, biggest machinery, and now I’ve got the biggest gambling joint. Well, say!

Comments and Context

Saratoga, upper New York state’s site of health-water springs and high society’s genteel racing track, was transformed by the addition of casinos and gaming parlors. Cartoonist Ehrhart cast a sarcastic eye on the questionable “improvements,” depicting Uncle Sam as a sharpie drawing every element of the public to its gates.
