There is a STREET CORNER CAT in the drawing.
In the background is a store, ISLANDS TRAVEL AGENCY, and a billboard with an illustration of a weather vane:
1. The N vane reads 3V.
2. The E vane reads XI squared.
Translated, using Roman numerals:
1. 3V = 3x5 = 15 (N 15 degrees)
2. XI squared = 11x11 = 121 (E 121 degrees)
N 15 degrees, E 121 degrees are coordinates for a spot just above Manila on the main island of The Philippines.
The headline LET US PICK A COUNTRY FOR YOU! signals that it's the country we want.
Other hints:
1. The Philippines is made up of 7,107 islands. That number appears as the street address above the word ISLANDS.
2. WILL RETURN 10:20 alludes to MacArthur's famous return to The Philippines on October 20.
