What you’re looking at
This page mixes satirical poetry with period advertisements. The main cartoon text, "Man Proposes—So Does Woman!," jokes about leap years (which occur more frequently in the 20th century). It satirizes traditional courtship by suggesting women will finally have socially acceptable opportunities to propose marriage to men during leap years—inverting the era's strict gender roles where only men could initiate proposals. The "Plantation Philosophy" section presents dialect humor stereotyping African American speech, discussing politics and morality in a condescending manner typical of early 1900s publications. The page includes advertisements for Monarch bicycles (positioning cycling as health-promoting), women's fashion items, and Schlitz beer, which emphasizes purity and careful brewing as selling points. The smaller jokes at bottom mock female railroad workers and female chemists—reflecting contemporary anxiety about women entering professional spaces.

MAN PROPOSES—SO DOES WOMAN! (The twentieth century will have the greatest num- ber uf leap-years that a century can have.) On, sigh no more, neglected maid, Who never had a single offer ; he time is coming, so ‘tis said, When you your love can freely proffer. No lingering day by day in doubt, Trying to fathom his intentions ; No long-drawn sigh, no angry pout, Because he never marriage mentions. Drown all your dread and deep fears In the coming stream of leap-years. —Punch. PLANTATION PHILOSOPHY. Hit is er long head dat knows no turnin’, Er lost oppertunity nebbah finds hit way back. Hones’ men ain’t naturally polerticians. Take care ob your votes an’ polertics will take care ob demselves. Hit is much easier toe lub some people dan hit is toe agree wid dem. Practical polertics lacks er good deal ob be- in’ statesmanship. One drop ob corruption will spile a bucket(ul ob polertics. Liberty is sweet, but hit aint sweetened wid sugar.—Arkansaw Thos.

You who drink it should know it. We have no wish to condemn any beer or its maker; but simply let us tell you how Schlitz beer is brewed. We use the best barley that grows. We get our hops from Bohemia. One of the owners of our business selects them both. The yeast that we use never varies. It is always developed from the same mother cells. The yeast is so perfect that the cells are priceless. Cleanliness in our brewery is carried to the utmost extreme. We insist on absolute purity. Schlitz beer is even cooled in filtered air. Then we filter the beer; then we sterilize it, after it has been bottled and sealed. We age Schlitz beer thoroughly. Nodemand is ever so urgent that we ship beer while green. The lack of age makes some beer cause biliousness. Every process of our brewing is supervised by a partner in ourconcern. Methods like these have made Schlitz beer the standard wherever beer is known. Rea- sons like these lead us to ask that you drink it. THE BEER THAT MADE MILWAUKEE FAMOUS 4.
