Scope and Content

Front: Three Chinese men are illustrated looking very sickly and hungry. Two of them have fallen down from hunger laying on their backs and looking as if they are in agony, while the third is standing up near the center of the tradecard clutching his stomach, as a man dressed like Uncle Sam approaches the group. With his back turned to us, Uncle Sam is wearing a top hat, a blue coat with tails, and red and white stripe pants. Holding in his hands are three boxes labeled Dried Beef with two more boxes on the ground next to him. The following are notations that one can find: Paragon Dried Beef-Henry Mayo & Co.
