What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and testimonial content**, not political satire. The main elements are: **Remington Typewriter Ad** (center): Promotes Models 10 and 11 as "Visible Writers," emphasizing engineering features—double-row type bars and rigid construction—as proof of "Strength and Reliability." **Postum Advertisement** (left): A testimonial from an Ohio woman claiming coffee caused her lifelong health problems (sickly appearance, heart trouble, weak nerves) that vanished after switching to Postum, a caffeine-free coffee substitute. This represents typical early-1900s patent medicine advertising exploiting health anxieties. **Minor References**: The text mentions Congressman Martin of Colorado and "Uncle Joe" Cannon (Speaker of the House), but these appear in anecdotal stories unrelated to satire—one about misunderstanding a "chandelier" as a musical instrument. **Bottom Ad**: Cortez Cigars advertisement. This appears to be a standard Judge issue mixing light humor with commercial advertising rather than featuring political cartoons or satire.

Congressman Martin, of Colorado, tells about the prosperous ranch owner who was ap- proached by a committee raising some money to furnish the local Y. M. C. A. building. They needed a chandelier. At first the man who was being seen did not appear to be in a generous humor. After some conversation he committed himself with, ‘I'll buy that chandelier for you; but, after the thing arrives, I venture to say that not one of you will know how to play it.’” A jometimes The penalty of greatness is Grand to Live AND THE LAST LAUGH IS ALWAYS THE BEST. “*Six months ago [ would have laughed at the idea that there could be anything better fora table beverage than coffee,’” writes an Ohio woman; ‘‘now I laugh to know there is. nce childhood I drank coffee freely, as did the other members of the family.

The 10 and 11 Models of the, Remington Typewriter are Visible Writers—ana more These new Remington models supply visible writing under new conditions—without loss of efficiency. To realize what this means—the combination of Remington strength with visible writing—note’the type bars. Note them specially.

Note the bar itself, the strong. rigid bar, the Remington bar you have always known, made from a steel drop forgi é with the ordinary thin bar, stamped out of sheet steel, and you will understand one reason why the very name “Remington” stands for Strength and Reliability in a Typewriter. pe (iic0r pow: lhl 11!)
