This page features a satirical poem mocking London's commercialization. A visiting New Zealander arrives eager to see famous British landmarks—the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, the Mansion House, the Mint—only to discover each has been converted into a hotel. The satire targets the transformation of historic London into modern commercial spaces. The visitor's mounting frustration, departing in "burning words" of indignation, reflects contemporary anxieties about commercialism eroding cultural heritage. The final stanza emphasizes his disappointment: London's "fanes and citadels" are "replaced by flats, / Or turned into hotels." This likely comments on actual 1900s-era development pressures and the perceived tension between preserving British historical identity and modern capitalist expansion. The humor derives from the absurdity of historically significant sites becoming mere lodging—a pointed critique of prioritizing profit over patrimony.

Costly Brewing The water used in SCHLITZ Beer comes from six wells, driven down to rock. The barley is the finest grown, selected personally by a partner in our concern. The hops come mostly from Bohemia, and cost twice what common hops cost. Every process of the brewing is in personal charge of two of the brothers who own the business. All the air that touches SCHLITZ Beer is filtered. Every drop of SCHLITZ Beer is filtered through masses of white wood pulp. Every bottle is cleaned by machi Jour times before using. After the bottle is filled and sealed, it is sterilized for 14 hours by the process of M. Pasteur. Common beer can be brewed for half the cost of SCHLI lute purity. ; but our extra cost is all spent to insure abso- Yet common beer and SCHLITZ Beer cost you the same.
