What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertisements and contest answers**, with one editorial cartoon. ## The Main Cartoon The single cartoon titled "HE HAD A SWELL RECORD" depicts a conversation between Miss Collum and Mobile Rush about his automobile. She compliments his "record," expecting praise; he responds that his car has killed three people and injured twenty-two others. **The satire:** This mocks the dangerous, reckless driving of the early automobile era and society's casual attitude toward automotive deaths. The "record" is darkly ironic—what should be a badge of honor becomes evidence of negligence. The cartoon suggests wealthy motorists like "Mobile Rush" treated traffic fatalities as acceptable collateral damage, a commentary on both poor road safety and class indifference to working-class victims. ## Context Early 1900s automobiles were notorious death traps with minimal safety features, speed limits, or driver regulation. This cartoon critiques both the vehicles themselves and the cavalier attitude of affluent owners. The rest of the page contains period advertisements (Pabst beer, Pears' soap, Heublein cocktails) and puzzle contest answers—typical Judge filler content.
