Inscriptions | Text at bottom of cartoon: "The Jewish population of New York last February was from 225,000 to 250,000, and this total will be increased by immigration during the rest of the last year by from 45,000 to 50,000. Instead of returning to the holy land to build up Jerusalem and to restore the glories of their race, the chosen people are coming to the metropolis of the new world. Of the twelve hundred wholesale firms occupying the buildings on Broadway from Canal street to Union square, it is estimated that one thousand are Jews. The aggregate of capital controlled by 2,018 Jewish merchants in New York is estimated at $207,388,000. Their holdings of real estate in the town are estimated at from $150,000,000 to $200,000,000." | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
