What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and editorial promotion**, not satire or political cartooning. The upper half features a **Rinex Soles advertisement** from United States Rubber Company (dated October 20, 1917). The ad emphasizes durability and economy during wartime—relevant context for 1917, when America had recently entered World War I and resources were strained. The accompanying photograph shows a crowd boarding what appears to be a ship or vessel, visually supporting the message that Rinex soles have "proved by actual wear on countless shoes." The lower half promotes back-issue copies of **Leslie's Weekly magazine**, advertising a series of biographical articles by B.C. Forbes titled "The Men Who Are Making America." The list includes prominent industrialists and financiers of the era (Carnegie, Ford, Vanderbilt, J.P. Morgan, etc.), offered at ten cents per copy. There is **no satirical cartoon content** on this page—it functions as a commercial and promotional publication spread.

October 20, 1917 Rinex Soles have more than made good. They are bearing the tread of millions. They have proved by actual wear on countless shoes, the promises made when Rinex was given to the World. In these days of rising costs, when economy and conservation have a new meaning, it is more important than ever to insist on having Rinex Soles. Ask for Rinex onthe new shoes you are buying for fall and winter wear. Rinex toughness will resist the severity of frozen ground and icy pavement. Rinex waterproof- ness will protect your feet from dampness and cold. Rinex flexi- bility gives ease and comfort even in heavy shoes. If you have old shoes with uppers good for further wear, have them resoled with Rinex. Look for the name stamped in the shank of every par—it is your guarantee of genuineness, your promise of value from the world’s largest rubber manufacturers. All Rinex Soles are the same quality. There is only one Rinex.
