The shoe shine man is asking for his fee, which would have been exorbitant and is possibly meant as humor.

This card was made by the Indian painter M.V. Dhurandhar and depicts what would have been a common scene in the emerging metropolis around 1900. Dhurandhar made a number of humorous postcards and may have been responsible for the caption.
