What you’re looking at

This page contains **three distinct elements**: a poem about nostalgia, whiskey advertisements, and printer information. **"Fairy Tales" Poem**: A sentimental piece lamenting the loss of old-fashioned storytelling. The narrator recalls his mother's enchanting bedtime tales, contrasted with his father's late-night arrivals home. The final couplet suggests the father's real-world troubles ("stories father told") are grimmer than fiction—a mild social commentary on adult responsibilities versus childhood innocence. **Advertisements**: Two liquor ads exploit **Prohibition-era nostalgia**. The "Hunter Whiskey" ad emphasizes purity and quality, while the "Chartreuse" ad announces a Supreme Court decision (May 1911) granting Carthusian monks exclusive rights to the name and formula, defeating competitor claims. Both suggest these products are *legitimate* and *authentic*—crucial selling points during alcohol regulation debates preceding the 1920 Prohibition era. The page reflects early 20th-century anxieties about modernization, authenticity, and legal control of consumer goods.

Fairy Tales. You never hear good stories now, The dear, old-fashioned kind. These modern tales don’t seem, some- how, To satisfy the mind. I wish some one would tell a few Like those we loved of old; The ones we used to think were true— The stories mother told. When I was just a little chap, As soon as it was night, I'd climb up into mother’s lap, And she would hold me tight And tell of fairies, giants, and Of warriors brave and bold— And ne’er have tales seemed half so grand As those that mother told. Tale after tale she’d tell—and then, When she would say she'd done, I'd always make her start again And tell another one; Until at last, all tired out, My eyes would lose their hold On wakefulness—I'd dream about The tales that mother told. Then, by and by, there’d come a knock, And she'd let father in; And, as she pointed at the clock, He’d grin a sickly grin. His business kept him late, he swore, And he'd explain and scold, Till mother’s tales looked pale before The stories father told! —Cleveland Plain Dealer. OH FOR THE TOUCH OF A VAN- ISHED BRAND.

According to the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court, handed down by Mr. Justice Hughes on May 29h, 1911, no one’ but the Carthusian Monks (Péres Chartreux) is entitled to use the word CHARTREUSE as the name or designation of a Liqueur, so their victory in the suit against the Cusenier Company, representing M. Henri-Lecouturier, the Liquidator appointed by the French Courts, and his successors, the Compagnie Fermiere de fa Grande Chartreuse, is complete. ‘The Carthusian Monks (Peres Chartreux), and they alone, have the formula or recipe of the secret process employed in the manufacture of the genuine Chartreuse, and have never parted with it.
