This page is primarily **advertising**, with a sidebar section of college humor jokes. The main content includes ads for Vaseline Hair Tonic, Old Town Canoe trips, a novelty bath-house toy, Hotel Cumberland, a Burlington pocket watch, a book on sexual education (*Sexology*), and goose-down cushions. The humor section, "With The College Wits," contains brief satirical anecdotes from university publications (Yale Record, Columbia Jester, etc.). These jokes target common social awkwardness: a tailor's sudden politeness upon learning a customer's son is a patron; a sleepy barber customer requesting a haircut instead; a man confused about bedroom "suits" (mishearing "pajamas"); and a drunk unable to explain how an officer recognized him after a fall. The jokes rely on wordplay, class anxiety, and physical comedy typical of 1910s collegiate humor—no specific political content is evident. The *Sexology* book advertisement suggests emerging openness to discussing sexuality in educational contexts.

Stamps CELEBRITY ART CO., 4 37 Columbus Ave., Boston, Mass, With The College Wits “Good Credit’-—At a very fashionable and equally expensive tailor shop about town a certain middle-aged, out-of-town customer discovered that he lacked suffi- cient change to pay for his humble purchase —a pair of gray gloves, “*May I charge them?" he asked. “I find I haven't my checkbook with me."’ “‘What was the name?’’ demanded the rather displeased tailor in peremptory man- ner, He was told the name and address. “Oh, that’s all right, sir,’’ exclaimed the tailor, now beaming with exaggerated affa- bility. ‘‘Your son trades here.'"’ — Yale Record.
