What you’re looking at
This page primarily features **Judge's Amateur Art Contest**, displaying three prize-winning cartoon submissions on humorous topics. The **First Prize cartoon** illustrates the "Water Level Route"—a railroad marketing claim that the New York Central's smooth track allows passengers to balance a water glass without spilling, demonstrating minimal vibration and superior comfort. The **Second Prize cartoon** depicts a child's mischief: a mother asks her son who taught him to swear; he replies that his older sister did, calling it "teaching." The **Third Prize cartoon** shows a young boy rejecting an invitation to walk with his little sister, sarcastically asking if he "looks like a guy" who'd waste time on family obligations. The page also contains **period advertisements** for Chicago's Hotel La Salle, railroad services (20th Century Limited, Southwestern Limited, New York Central Limited), Kingsford's Corn Starch, and humorous business vignettes about a holdup man and a widow teaching school after her husband's death from hookworm. The satire targets everyday social dynamics—parental concerns about children's behavior and gender expectations of the era.

The most significant proof of the thoroughness of the fireproof con- struction of this magnificent new hotel is that it enjoys a lower fire insurance rate than any other hotel building in the city of Chicago. Hotel La Salle has 1048 guest rooms—single, en suite, with or with- out bath, all equipped with lava- tories, telephones, and individual regulation of heat and ventilation. Hotel La Salle is the center of the business, financial, theatre and shopping districts and there is no hotel in Chicago which is more easily or quickly reached from all railway terminals.
