Creator(s): Pughe, J. S. (John S.), 1870-1909, artist
Date Created/Published: N.Y. : Published by Keppler & Schwarzmann, 1898 February 23.
Summary: Print shows several vignettes around a central scene that shows George Washington being questioned about cutting down a cherry tree; vignettes show Washington as a lover, a joke writer, a lawyer, a preacher, street vendor selling food, a husband arriving home late and drunk, a friend, and a newspaper editor. In each vignette Washington strives to 'Always Tell the Truth', which in all situations fails him; he has no clients, no parishioners, no sales, and is about to be sued for 'Libel', he is not likely to sell any jokes, get a date, or mollify an angry wife.
