What you’re looking at
This page contains **no political cartoons or satire**—it is primarily advertising from the early 1900s. The content includes: **Gillette Safety Razor** (top left): Markets the new safety razor as modern and convenient, targeting "progressive gentlemen" who can shave themselves rather than visit a barber, saving time and money. This reflects the era's embrace of new consumer technology. **Williams' Shaving Stick** (top right): Competing grooming product advertisement emphasizing portability for travelers on trains and steamships. **New York Central Lines train ad** (bottom left): Promotes "The Wolverine," a luxury passenger train connecting major Midwest cities with New York. **Prudential Insurance** (bottom right): Features a testimonial from a satisfied policyholder describing five-year dividend benefits, demonstrating how insurance provided financial returns—a novel concept at the time. These ads collectively illustrate early-20th-century consumer culture: convenience products, modern transportation, and financial security products marketed to middle and upper-class men.
