This page combines a Santa Fe Railway advertisement with humorous cartoon vignettes about automobile travel. **The Advertisement** (left): "The Big Trip This Summer" promotes discounted Santa Fe train tickets for family vacations to California, Colorado, and national parks, with options for customized itineraries. **The Cartoons** (right): Three satirical illustrations mock early automotive tourism: 1. **"The Motor Bath"**: A car converted into a bathtub, poking fun at impractical vehicle modifications. 2. **"Handy in Case"**: A motorist prepared for every contingency with excessive equipment. 3. **"The Telephone Rings"**: Two policemen discussing a speeding car with a young woman passenger, making a flirtatious joke about her appearance. **The Bottom Cartoon**: "Passing Show" depicts a car accident in a scenic location, with officers unable to get the speeding driver's license number—satirizing reckless motorists endangering both themselves and others on newly popular scenic drives. The humor criticizes dangerous driving habits among tourists.
