| Description | Illustration shows a vignette cartoon with John A. Dowie as a wizard at center offering salvation and other products to gullible customers. The surrounding vignettes show various types of "people", such as "The working people", downtrodden and depressed, who are tricked into following the "Walking Delegate", his pockets overflowing with money, and "The get-rich-quick people" who anxiously purchase bogus stocks and securities. There are those who have their palms read and those who believe they can build their own homes, as well as those who show off their castles with a huge "Mortage". |
