The term, "high, wide and handsome," is considered a particularly American phrase, and by at least one account was first used in the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette, Indiana. In May, 1905, the following statement appeared:

Up in western New York, when they take out a lively colt, the farmers say, "he feels his oats," and he comes down the road, "high, wide and handsome." If a western New York farmer were to describe the president he would use just those terms. He is the boss. He knows he is the boss and he knows the leaders know he is the boss.

In this print we are in the process of finding out just who the boss is.
