Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) cartoon illustrating how Wall Street (a beaver) is biting into New York's economy (a tree) while New Yorkers (a sweating bird sitting on a branch) watch savings and investments (leaves shaken from a branch) blow away. A broken branch on the tree shows manufacturing decline. The state motto, "Excelsior" (Ever Upward) is crossed out and replaced with "Caveat Emptor" (Buyer Beware).
