This is a **promotional announcement** for a new column in Leslie's Weekly magazine, not a cartoon. It introduces "You and Your Work," a practical advice department launching October 29th, conducted by Jacob Penn. The piece addresses employment—getting, keeping, and improving jobs—framed as a vital service to readers. It emphasizes that Penn's advice is based on "actual, practical experience" rather than theory, promising "specific, simple, clear" guidance on job-seeking. For modern readers, the notable context is the era's apparent assumption that employment advice was magazine-worthy content addressing a widespread public concern. The earnest, service-oriented tone reflects early-20th-century magazine philosophy: positioning periodicals as comprehensive life guides addressing readers' core ambitions and problems.

- “You and Your Work” A new department in Leslie’s Weekly VERY one of us has an ambition in life—a heart-burning, driving desire sctive. Magazines are like persons, they have to reach some fixed obj hearts and souls—and ambitions! The ambition of Lesttr’s WEEKLY is to render real service to its readers—to you! But the same identical service will not be of equal value to every reader. To one, the Motor Department is most valuable, to another it will be the Investor’s } Bureau. Others will get their greatest return from other features of the magazine. Now Lestir’s sees another opportunity for service and that is the reason for the new department—You anp Your Work.” If you haven't got a job and want to get one; if you have a job and want to keep | it; if you want to better the job you have—you will welcome sound, experienced and practicable advice that will help you toward the goal. The business of getting a job is a definite sales problem and an expert, systematic study of this problem, at close range, has revealed the kind of methods that produce real results. This homely problem of getting, keeping and improving a job is a vital, funda- mental one to most men and women throughout the country. Because it is one of the real and inescapable problems of life, and because of the basic policy of Lesuir’s WEEKLY to be of real, helpful service toits readers, LEsLin’s will inaugurate in its issue of October 29th, the new department—“You anp Your Work.” It will be conducted by Mr. Jacob Penn, who has made an intimate, exhaustive investigation of employment from every angle. He knows his subject and has the ability to convey what he knows to others. His observations and advice are not based upon theory but upon actual, practical experience. First, the problem of “How to Get a Job” will be discussed in a series of meaty articles—not the usual line of ‘success talk,” no bunk, but specific, simple, clear advice as to how to proceed to get employment. Then will follow the other phases of the problem, in logical sequence. To many thousands of our readers this will be of tremendous service, of real value. It may mean more, even, than getting a job—real, permanent success in life. Watch for it, read it and then tell your friends who will profit from it, to read it, too. comicbooks.com
