"It might help some if Wall Street gave trading stamps" is a satirical cartoon created by Louis Glackens in 1907. The cartoon portrays a bustling Wall Street scene where people are lined up to purchase stock in companies such as "Amalgamated Copper" and "Inter-Met". The image satirizes the frenzy of the stock market and the appeal of "trading stamps" as a consumer incentive. Glackens' use of caricature and exaggeration effectively captures the frenzy of the market, drawing a parallel between Wall Street and everyday consumerism. The cartoon's theme of consumerism, and its satirical critique of financial speculation, makes it a relevant commentary on the American culture of the early 20th century.
