as the President of the United States. Here Max Schmeling admires Babe Ruth

Thanks Butch for the translation. You can still be comfortable in most parts of U.S. enjoying annually 100,000 dollars.
And Adam is correct, Babe Ruth would have been the side attraction for the German market. Note the top billing on the back of the card - Schmeling und Babe Ruth, and the fact that Max is only identified by his last name.
