What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertisements and humor anecdotes**, not political satire. The main content includes: **The Cartoons/Humor:** Several brief joke columns with no political meaning—just period humor about relationships and misunderstandings. For example, one jokes about a man patient who waited 20 minutes for a doctor's advice, only to be told to sleep with windows open, then lost his watch that night. **The Satire:** The largest piece is Herbert D. Shivers' advertisement for cigars, which **satirizes the cigar industry's deceptive practices**. Shivers claims his $5 cigars are superior to competitors' $8 versions, and invites skeptics to inspect his factory. The humor lies in framing this as an "Impartial Investigating Committee"—when it's obviously just marketing. He's mocking competitors who use inferior fillers while charging premium prices, suggesting the industry routinely deceives consumers about quality. **Context:** Early 1900s consumer skepticism about product quality and advertising honesty.

An American on a visit to London took “bus to the city every morning, where he had business to do with an Anglo-Ameri- an firm. He always sat behind the driver. On the first journey he noticed | that on arriving at a certain corner the driver took out his big silver watch, dan- gled it to and fro a few times, and winked jovially at an individual who stood at the door of a shop. * Why do you do that ?” asked “Well,” said. the driver, taking his pipe from his mouth, « that’s a little joke we ‘as between us, bein’ as we are old friends.

SHIVERS An Impartial Investigating Committee A prominent cigar manufacturer doubted the quality of the fillers in my |cigars, because, he said, they could not be genuine Havana and sold at my price. Three gentlemen well known in the cigar world were recently r que-ted to examine my factory and books, and they reported- over their sig- natures (which are attested by Notary Public) as follows : ““ We have made a careful inspection of the cigar factory and the tobacoos used by Hexsert D. Sutvers, IXc., and find that in the manufacture of Shivers’ Cigars nothing but absolutely clean, long Havana filler is used." The report also says: ‘‘ We find that the utmost care is exercised in every particular of their manufacture.” It would be improper to use the names of these gentlemen in an advertisement, but I shall be glad to send to anyone inter- ested a copy of their report in a personal letter. Another gentleman who carefully inspected my factory “Tt has a right to stand in the heart of the great Quaker itchen.”” If they are good ten-cent cigars over the counter, the dealer must get I will deliver at your home or office, simply save you all of his expenses and profits.
