This print was issued as a pair with Waddling Out! (59.533.626) and belongs to a series that Woodward centered on city businessmen. Here, a portly man heads into the stock exchange (identified by lettering over the door), with posters at right advertizing "New Loan Omnium" and the "Irish Lottery." A building in the background houses "Hazard and Goodluck's Lottery Office," and a man whose hat is lettered "Great News" blows a trumpet. The image suggests an environment that encourages investors to borrow.
