| Description | Illustration showing Jay Gould as the Devil holding a paper labeled "Majority of Stock", standing outside an office labeled "Successor to Satan"; he is presiding over the "Hades & World Lightning Transportation Line" which is a railroad train headed for a station labeled "Terminus - President Jay Gould", the locomotive is labeled "Crasher" and uses "Brimstone" for fuel, a passenger car is labeled "Only Anti-Monopolists Carried", also the "Sulphuric Telegraph Co. - Gould Pres." which has many devil-like demons stringing wire cables on telegraph poles and an office where telegraph operators work at desks beneath a sign that states "Any Imp who attempts to strike will be transferred to the Western Union Company", as well as "The Bottomless Pit Roasting Co. - Jay Gould, Pres." where an "Anti-Monopolist editor", "Puck", and "Thurber" are roasted "in effigy". At bottom, a man labeled "Satan Janitor", with bandages, carries a scuttle filled with brimstone?, a watering-can labeled "Kerosene", a broom, and a key ring, skulks down the steps from Gould's office. |
