Summary
Illustration shows an allegorical female figure labeled "San Francisco" being tortured "on the rack" by a cast of medieval-looking executioners labeled "Cement Dealer, Lumber Dealer, Iron Workers' Union, Steel Trust, Bricklayers Union, Building Materials, [and the central figure] Greed" in the aftermath of the 1906 earthquake and fire that destroyed much of San Francisco.
Caption: "Generosity" is easy when you can get your money back with interest.
Illus. in: Puck, v. 60, no. 1547 (1906 October 24), centerfold.
