What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising** rather than satirical cartoons. The dominant content is a Schlitz beer advertisement emphasizing that brown bottles protect beer from light decay—a legitimate early 20th-century brewing concern (light exposure does degrade beer). The ad claims Schlitz's purity protection justifies its cost. The right column contains **editorial text** (continued from a previous page) featuring anecdotes about American politicians and businessmen. One story describes Secretary of Treasury aide W. Taylor encountering Cecil Rhodes and John Hays Hammond during the Boer War era; another recounts Senator Page showing Senator Smoot a purse of rare gold coins while joking about a farmer's accidental success growing hops for alcohol rather than agricultural crops. A secondary advertisement for **Old I.W. Harper Whiskey** appears in the bottom right, marketed as "the kind your grandfather used." The content reflects turn-of-the-century American politics and social humor but contains **no identifiable political cartoons or satire**—primarily commercial messaging.

The Brown Bottle| protects ¢/ from purity Brewery to S Schlitz is brewed in the dark— stored for months in glass lined steel enameled tanks—bottled in darkened rooms where even the window shades are drawn to exclude the light—then sent to you in brown bottles. Without all of these precautions, no beer can be healthful, and who knowingly would | drink beer that was not. Light starts decay even in pure beer. glass gives protection against light. We have adopted: every idea, every invention that could aid to this end. Today, more than half the cost of our brewing is spent to make and keep Schlitz beer pure.

Taylor, private secretary to the See. retary of the Treasury, was skirting the African coast about the time of the Boer War. An associaté had supplied him with introductory communications to Cecil Rhodes and John Hays Hammond, the American mining engineer. Mr, Taylor made a special trip into Johannes. burg to have them assist him in some business. When he got there he learned the latest news of the Jameson raid and war developments. Without much ef. fort he also ascertained something about the men for whom he was looking. “This is a fine bunch of citizens you have steered me into!’’ he wrote to his friend in Chicago who had supplied the letters. ‘‘One has skipped the country and the other is in jail!’’ . True, Rhodes had lost no time get- ting out, but Mr. Hammond was in the lock-up. a Gold coins are comparatively rare in the East. Possibly that is the reason for the hobby of Senator Page, of Ver- mont. He exhibited to his colleague, Senator Smoot, of Utah, a large purse stuffed with two-and-a-half-dollar gold pieces. ‘How many have you there, Senator?” inquired Mr. Smoot, in surprise. “Plenty, Senator,’’ answered Mr. Page. ‘*Something like the young man whose father donated ground for a hop field. The son didn’t know much about raising hops, but was stronger raising Cain. All other crops failed, but the young farmer succeeded in harvesting a bumper yield. He was simpiy dazed by the immensity of his profit. The buyer (Continued om following page) GRANDFATHER USED STILL THE BEST.
