What you’re looking at
This page contains primarily **college humor jokes** ("With the College Wits") and a **Budweiser advertisement**. The left column features brief comedic exchanges between professors and students about classroom behavior, academic performance, and a mugging scenario—typical lighthearted college humor of the era. The dominant right side is a **WWI-era beer advertisement** addressing a serious economic concern. Budweiser explains that imported Saaz hops—essential to their product's quality—can no longer be imported due to the war embargo (likely WWI). The ad claims the brewery wisely stockpiled sufficient hops "before the embargo went on" to supply through 1917, positioning foresight as a selling point. This advertisement reflects genuine wartime anxiety about supply chains and shortages, while attempting to reassure consumers that Budweiser remains available. The patriotic framing of "foresight" subtly connects brand loyalty to preparedness during national crisis.
