What you’re looking at
This page primarily contains **advertising and a brief political cartoon** about an early-1900s naval controversy. The main cartoon, "Making History," satirizes tensions between Admiral William T. Sampson and Admiral Winfield Scott Schley over credit for naval victories (likely the Spanish-American War). The cartoon mocks their dispute: Sampson is depicted correcting proofs of an account of his actions, while Schley dismisses the controversy as beneath him, claiming people can see he's being slandered—yet he insists he won't comment, appearing hypocritically evasive. The satire compares their behavior to an ostrich burying its head in sand while pretending nothing happened. The remainder of the page is **vintage advertisements** for whiskey, cigars, and other products typical of the era. A brief "Yachting Talk" joke plays on nautical terminology (knots = speed).
