Which One Is The American?

1920 (Click the picture for larger version)

In the above picture is shown a mother and two sons. The mother and one of her sons have just come over from the old country and have been in this country but a few days. The other son has lived here for five years. Can you tell which one of the sons is an American and which is not? It ought not to require more than one guess!

Comment: This is an odd item. I think the point of this item is American pride. With immigration being such a big thing in our history, the fact that we "clean up" well would be something to be proud of.
