What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising with one small cartoon**. The cartoon titled "THE CURIOSITY CONE" depicts a circus manager speaking to someone, with the caption: "Heaven! I guess we are all over with the circus this season. There goes a bird with our 'one and only' fat worm." **What it means**: The joke appears to be a visual pun about circus attractions. A bird (literally depicted flying away) has taken the circus's prized "fat worm"—their sole remaining curiosity or attraction. The humor lies in the circus manager's exasperation that their last draw has literally flown away. It's a play on the old circus tradition of displaying oddities and curiosities to audiences; here, even their final attraction has abandoned them, suggesting the circus season is over and business is finished. The cartoon mocks the declining appeal of circus attractions, suggesting they've lost even their most basic draw to nature itself.
