What you’re looking at
This page combines humor content with period advertising. The left column presents "College Wits"—brief jokes reprinted from university humor magazines (Nebraska Awgwan, Harvard Lampoon, etc.). These jokes reflect early 1900s collegiate humor: misunderstandings about American accents, flirtation mishaps, and wordplay about food and relationships. The centerpiece is an advertisement for "Egyptian Deities" cigarettes, featuring a man and woman in period dress examining a decorated cigarette box—typical advertising imagery associating products with leisure and sophistication. Below are ads for practical items: "Power of the Hour" automotive manuals (appealing to the growing motorist culture), and Hotel Longacre on Broadway, marketed as a bachelor's club-like establishment. The page reflects early 1900s American culture: college life, automobile enthusiasm, urban hospitality, and cigarette smoking as unremarkable social behavior. The humor is gentle, collegiate, and focused on misunderstandings rather than sharp satire.
