A very somber-looking Uncle Sam, wearing a blue waistcoat with white stars and red and white striped pants, is holding a pen, ready to write in a large blank book marked "Census"; lettering in white against a red background. The first Federal Census was conducted in 1790, but it wasn't until 1902 that the government formed a permanent Bureau of the Census.
