What you’re looking at

This page mixes advertising with period humor reflecting early 1900s attitudes. **"Yas Suh, Boss"** ad depicts a Black servant endorsing whiskey using exaggerated dialect and subservient imagery—typical of the era's racist advertising that perpetuated minstrel stereotypes and plantation nostalgia. **"Passing the Mustard"** and related automobile jokes satirize the unreliability of cheap early cars. The poem mocks buyers who purchase faulty vehicles, while anecdotes mock drivers' impatience and poor auto maintenance—reflecting the era's transition from horses to automobiles and associated frustrations. **"Vibration" power device** advertises pseudoscientific health equipment claiming electrical vibration cures ailments—a common early 20th-century medical quackery marketed to the credulous. The page also advertises **National Sportsman magazine** and sexual instruction books, both common in this period's periodicals. Overall, the content reflects dated racial attitudes, automobile-age humor, and snake-oil marketing practices.

Time was when the little cheap car was new And looked like a real auter; And that was the time when the chump, now blue, Took a fool notion and bought ’er. “Now, don’t you go till you’re cranked,” he sneered. “Be sure you make plenty of noise.”” Then cutting loose with his tongue, he queered His chances for heaven’s joys. Aye faithful and true to its trust it stands, Still in the selfsame place, Awaiting the touch of the factory’s hand, The smile on an agent’s face! —Strickland Gillilan, in Indianapolis Star. Not To Blame—‘‘ What do you mean by coming in here with that tire all cut to ribbons?’’ shouted the enraged owner of the sixty-horse-power racing car. “T ran it over a milk bottle, sir,”’ said the trembling chauffeur. “A milk bottle, eh? Seems to me you could see a thing as big as that.’’ “The boy had it hid under his coat, sir.””—Philadelphia Ledger. Toy and Utility—‘‘Still have two cars?’’ “Yes, “l thought you intended to sell the older one.”’ “No. My son and his high-school friends keep the old car busy.’’ “T see. You get the use of the new car yourself.”’ “No, I don’t. It keeps the new car hustling to tow the old car home.'’— Cleveland Plain Dealer. B-ZZ—First bee—Who is that strange- looking insect in our midst? Second bee—Why, don’t you know? He is the latest thing in the bug line. He has taken the place of the horse-fly. That’s Weary Rivets, the automobile bug. —Chicago News. Not Always—‘‘ Wealth is very haughty and overbearing in this country.” “Not always. Did you ever watch the owner of a sixty-horse-power automobile trying to square himself with a bicycle policeman?”’—Washington Star. Exhausted—‘‘Is your cara self-starter?’’ “*Yea,’" “Then come over and crank mine, will you? You're fresh and strong, and I’m played out trying to make it go."’—De- troit Free Press. POWER for YOU!
