What you’re looking at
This page contains two unrelated items: **two humorous cartoons on the left and a book advertisement on the right.** ## The Cartoons: **Top cartoon**: "The ex-juggler who went in for furniture-removing business" depicts a chaotic moving scene where items are flying through the air. The joke is that an ex-juggler's professional skills, while impressive, translate poorly to the serious business of furniture moving—suggesting incompetence despite relevant hand-eye coordination. **Bottom cartoon**: A small car in heavy wind is being blown backward. The owner insists he's "not reversing"—implying the wind is so strong it's physically pushing the vehicle in reverse. It's a London Opinion reprint satirizing either poor automobile design or the absurdity of driving such a flimsy vehicle in bad weather. ## The Advertisement: The right side advertises Modern Library's complete unabridged editions at 95 cents—notably cheap for the era. It emphasizes these were previously expensive (3-10 times the price), making classic literature accessible to ordinary readers.
