Above the counter, a sign reads, "If you don’t see what you want, ask for it." The cartoon, signed by W.A. Rogers, appears to satirize the Republican Party's economic policies, highlighting the disparity in taxation between luxury items like whiskey and essential goods like cloth.

Why Photographers Are Ditching Instagram for Flickr Instagram is one of the important photo-sharing apps today. However, it seems that it is no longer everyone's favorite. But how is Flickr?
