The Good Provider
“If you want to weep a little, smile a lot, and have your heart filled with happiness, SEE THIS PICTURE!”
A prosperous small-town peddler accedes to his family's wish to move from their secure existence to the uncertainty of New York City. It proves fruitless and eventually his kin sees the error of their ways and return to their true home.
