What you’re looking at
This page contains primarily **advertisements and short humorous anecdotes** rather than political satire. **Main cartoon ("Foreign Relation"):** A large illustration showing a wealthy, physically attractive man in formal dress kissing a young woman in a slip. The caption contrasts this with the "Real Power" story above: a homely, elderly self-made millionaire (who "made about ten million dollars") is more genuinely powerful than a handsome traffic officer, yet society only admires the tall man's appearance. The cartoon illustrates this irony visually—the physically impressive man dominates the frame while the small, rich man goes unnoticed. **Other content:** Brief jokes about Prohibition-era alcohol regulations (Vermouth with alcohol removed), business complaints about unsold overcoats, and domestic humor about Spartan boys and sleep. **Context:** This reflects 1920s concerns about wealth versus appearance, economic conditions post-WWI, and Prohibition's impact on commerce. The satire is gentle social observation rather than sharp political critique.

His hair had a natural wave, his chin was cleft, his eye was icy blue, he had a skin any woman might envy, and he wore his clothes well. No one noticed the small man by his side. He was wizened and old, he looked like a withered apple, his eyes were small and shifty, his chin was weak, he was bald and sallow, and his clothes hung loosely about his thin form. The small man had never done any- thing much except make about ten mil- lion dollars, while the tall man was the traffic man who had just told him to come along to the station house for speeding. pss Shirt Manufacturer—How's business? Clothing Manufacturer—The market has been inactive for a long time, but it’s coming back strong now. Read this, from a customer.
