What you’re looking at
This page contains three distinct elements: **The "Girl Who Said" Comic** (left): A satirical piece from *London Opinion* mocking women's inconsistency in romantic preferences. A woman repeatedly declares what she wants in a husband, then marries the opposite type each time—rejecting smokers but marrying a pipe-smoker, valuing intellect but marrying a prize-fighter, etc. The punchline: she ultimately married the narrator (implying he's unremarkable). The satire targets women's contradictory nature and changing standards. **Two Brief Jokes** (left): Humorous anecdotes about a female motorist attempting to reach the North Pole (with implied male encouragement) and a butcher generously overweighting meat orders. **AT&T Advertisement** (right): A corporate PR piece emphasizing democratic stock ownership—no single person owns more than 1% of American Telephone and Telegraph Company, with 420,000+ stockholders across all social classes. This appears designed to counter anti-monopoly sentiment by presenting the company as widely owned by ordinary Americans. **College Advertisement** (bottom): Promotes a humor book of cocktail recipes for students.

LESS THAN ONE PER CENT ‘nm Advertisement o An Ad: t the American Telephone and Telegraph Company No one person owns as much as 1% of the capital stock of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company. The company is owned by more than 420,000 people, with stockholders in every section of the United States. It, in turn, owns 91% of the common stock of the oper- ating companies of the Bell System which give telephone service in every state in the Union, making a_ national service nationally owned. The men and women owners of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company are the largest single body of stockholders in the world and they represent every vital activity in thena- tion’s life, from laborer and unskilled worker to wealthy and influential executive. Although the telephone was oneof the greatest inventions of an age of large fortunes, no one ever made a great fortune from it—in fact, there are not any “telephone fortunes.” The Bell Tele- phone System is owned by the American people. It is operated in the interest of the telephone users. ARE YOU A COLLEGE MAN? Well, we can’t help that!
