Note:
Pictorial map in black and orange brown tone by W. J. Dittmar, An illustrator of Ragtime music sheets in the early 20th century. First published in 1932 in black and white for the Union Gospel Press. Depicts road through life which is portrayed as a theme park: people arriving at the entrance (lower left) in buses, cars or on foot (on in the case of the Speed Mad in the wreckage of a car) with the ultimate destination being the plane trip from Heaven's Station to Eternity With The Lord. Most of the arrivals are sucked up in the glittering Pit or the inviting entrance "Do the Best You Can. An Easy Way." Many of those traveling further find themselves dumped into the River of Failures by stops at "Friendly Card Game" and the "Social Glass" or loitering at the "Mutual Admiration Society" to mention just a couple of the trials along the way.
