What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and light humor**, not political satire. The content includes: **Cartoons/Humor:** - "Passing the Mustard" — A series of domestic humor anecdotes about miscommunication between spouses (a milkman's explanation about cream, a couple's marital expectations, a husband's retort about his wife's age). These reflect early 20th-century gender dynamics and marriage comedy. - "The Owner of a Chicken Farm" — A sketch accompanying a humorous anecdote, likely about rural life. **Advertisements:** Numerous product ads (Pears' Soap, White Gems diamonds, bunion relief) and publishing promotions (Leslie's Weekly history collection, Maurice Switzer's "Letters of a Self-Made Failure" book). **Editorial Content:** A "Do You Know" section promoting Leslie's Weekly as essential wartime documentation, comparing current European conflicts to historical wars — suggesting this is from World War I era. The page reflects **early 1900s consumer culture and gentle domestic humor** rather than pointed political commentary. No specific political figures or events are caricatured.

Address LESLIE-JUDGE CO. 225 Fifth Avenue New York Mustard Passing the His Explanation—‘‘My dear,’’ said the young husband, ‘‘did you speak to the milkman about there being no cream on the milk?” “Yes; I told him about it this morn- ing, and he explained it satisfactorily. I think it quite a credit to him, too.’’ What did he say?"" “He said he always filled the jug so full that there was no room on top for cream.’’—New York Globe. On the Other Foot—‘‘Didn’t marry her, eh? I suppose you were afraid you could not support her in the style to which she had become accustomed.’’ “Oh, no, I was not at all afraid of thai “Then why didn’t’’ “It was she that was afraid I could not.

Tit for Tat—The old man’s wife was getting into a carriage, and he neglected to assist her. “You are not so gallant, John, as when you were a boy,’ she exclaimed, in gen- tle rebuke. “‘No,’’ was his ready response; ‘‘and you are not so buoyant as when you were a gal.""—Sacred Heart Review. But They Are Useful—‘‘So you are mar- ried, Sam?"" “Oh, yes, sah.'" “Did you get any wedding gifts, Sam?” “Oh, yes, sah.’" “Any duplicates, Sam?"’ “Oh, yes, sah. I got eight razors, sah.’’— Yonkers Statesman. Hospitality—It is nice to know in these days of lost reputations that Oriental hus- pitality, at any rate, shows no signs of decadence.
