What you’re looking at
This page combines humor with advertising from June 1915. The main jokes are: **"Ready to Risk It"**: An Irish laborer named Patrick Mulrooney asks a glazier for a twelve-by-fourteen-inch windowpane. When told that size isn't available, he requests a fourteen-by-twelve instead—a meaningless reversal. The joke relies on ethnic stereotyping of Irish immigrants as dim-witted, a common prejudice of the era. **"He Gave an Order"**: A traveling salesman from a New York grocery house seeks orders from a Black grocer in Nashville. Through comedic dialect, the proprietor explains he owns nothing—not the store, capital, or goods. He jokingly agrees to buy items on credit anyway. This joke traffics in racist caricature and Southern racial dynamics of the period. Both stories use exaggerated dialect to mock working-class and minority characters for humor. The rest of the page contains advertisements for books, whiskey, and cleaning products typical of 1915 publications.

New York Stories with Smiles Ready to Risk It—‘‘Mr. Jones wants a windy-pane twilve inches be fourteen,’ re- marked young Patrick Mulrooney, entering the glazier’s shop. In the shop was a smart young assistant who wanted to have a joke with Pat. “Haven't any that size,’’ he replied gravely. ‘‘Will one fourteen inches by twelve do?"' Pat looked thoughtful fora minute. Then he replied, ‘*He's wantin’ it at once, and this is the only shop in town. Give me wan o’ thim. f we put it in sideways no one will —London Answers. notice. He Gave an Order—A drummer for a New York grocery house took shelter from a thundershower in a small grocery kept by a colored man in the suburbs of Nashville, and pretty soon the proprietor asked, ‘*Was yo’ a stranger around yere, sah?"’ “I represent this house,’’ replied the drummer, as he handed out one of his cards. “*Tsee. Does yo’ own de bizness yo'self?"* “Oh, no."’ **Was yo’ de senior pawdner’ “*No."" “*De junior?"" “No.” “*Was yo’ backin’ de concern wid yo’ capital?"’ **No."" **Just sent out to take orders?"” “*That’s all.
