What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertisements and promotional content** rather than political cartoons, though it includes some illustrated ads. The main satirical elements are: 1. **"Only Clean News"** section: A commentary on *The New York Times*' commercial success despite (or because of) its exclusion of "patent medicine advertisers" and other questionable ads—implying that respectable, "clean" journalism can be profitable. 2. **Hartford Tires ad**: Features a domestic scene with a woman receiving a massage, captioned with dialogue about money and circulation—a light joke equating tire quality with proper financial circulation and well-being. 3. **Trimble Whiskey ad**: Uses a humorous testimonial claiming whiskey is superior to doctors' potions, a common advertising trope of the era. The page reflects early-1900s advertising practices and press competition, celebrating *The Times*' refusal of dubious patent medicine ads—a major public health issue of that period—as both ethical and commercially successful.
