What you’re looking at

This page contains two distinct elements: **"Advice to Travelers"** is a punny piece playing on U.S. city names as verbs (Tacoma = "take a," Butte = "butt," Utica = "you take a," etc.). It's gentle wordplay humor typical of the era. **The main advertisement** promotes the Remington-Wahl typewriter, emphasizing it combines writing, adding, and subtracting functions—marketed as labor-saving for office work, particularly billing and accounting. The circular diagram shows "Visible Writing" and "Visible Adding" capabilities. **"Business Women"** features a Grape-Nuts cereal testimonial from an office worker who credits the food with curing nervous exhaustion and dyspepsia, allowing her to continue working. This reflects early 1900s concerns about women's workplace health. **The cartoon** (bottom) shows a dialogue about a suitor's humble background—the father objects because ancestors were "gentlemen of leisure" while the suitor must work. The joke critiques old-money snobbery: the father won't accept working-class marriage prospects regardless of character. The page reflects Progressive Era attitudes toward women's work, health, and commerce.

Advice to Travelers. By WILLIAM J. BURTSCHER. TRY Topeka fast route. Never Seymore than is necessary. Remember that Boise will be Boise. Don’t forget to Tacoma copy of JupcE. Don’t Butte in where you are not wanted. Whatever you do, don’t Utica dram too much. If the town enjoys a good name, don’t Detroit. Find out Wichita good summer resort before you leave home. Don't say you have seen them all un- til you have Racine. No use to Raleigh around the depot after the train has gone. Remember, too, that you will want a Tombstone of your own some day. Let your conduct be so that you'll not be ashamed to Waukegan where you have walked before. Business Women. A LUNCH FIT FOR A KING. An active and successful young lady tells her food experience: **Some years ago I suffered from nerv- ous prostration, induced by continuous brain strain and improper food, added to a great grief. “I was ordered to give up my work, as there was great danger of my mind failing me altogether. My stomach was in bad condition (nervous dyspepsia, I think ‘now), and when Grape-Nuts food was recommended to me, I had no faith in it. However, I tried it, and soon there was a marked improvement in my condition. “T had been troubled with faint spells, and had used a stimulant to revive me. I found that by eating Grape-Nuts at such times I was relieved and suffered no bad effects, which was a great. gain. As to my other troubles—nervous pros- tration, dyspepsia, ete.—on the Grape- Nuts diet they soon disappeared. “T wish especially to call the attention of office girls to the great benefit I de- rived from the use of Grape-Nuts as a noon luncheon, I was thoroughly tired of cheap restaurants and ordinary lunches, and so made the experiment of taking a package of Grape-Nuts food with me, and then slipping out at noon and getting a nickel’s worth of sweet cream to add to it. “I dound that this simple dish, fin- ished off with an apple, peach, orange, ora bunch of grapes, made a lunch fit for a king and one that agreed with me perfectly. “I throve so on my Grape-Nuts diet that I did not have to give up my work at all, and in the two years have had only four lost days charged up against me. “Let me add that your suggestions in the little book, ‘Road to Wellville,’ are, in my opinion, invaluable, especially to women." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read ‘*The Road to Wellville,”” in packages. “'There’s a Reason.”’ Ever read the above letter? A mew one appears trom time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human interest. The Remington-Wahl Adding and Subtracting Typewriter is the first successful combination in one mechanism of all the requirements of the writing machine and the calculating machine. It writes, it adds, it subtracts; and it does all of these things either separately or in combination, as the user wills It provides and Visible Labor Saving, in billing work, accounting work and every kind of work where writing and adding are done on the same page.
