# Analysis This is primarily a **product advertisement** for Dunbar Glass Corporation, not political satire. The page advertises nautical-themed glassware designed by "Don Dickerman, that old Jolly Rover." The humorous copy adopts pirate/sailor vernacular ("mizzen mast," "poop deck," "hark to our chantey") to appeal to customers who fancy themselves nautical enthusiasts—whether genuinely knowledgeable or not ("maybe you're knautical, maybe you're knot"). The product line includes ship-shaped highball glasses ($6 per set of six), a decanter ($3), and an ice tub with tongs ($3.50). The satirical angle is gentle: it mocks aspirational consumers who want maritime décor to display on their yachts or mantels, suggesting these items represent quintessential "gear" for the nautically-minded. The title playfully references a pirate drinking song.

15 Men on a Dead Man’s Chest Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rum* Maybe you're nautical, maybe you're knot. But even if you can’t tell a mizzen mast from a poop deck, throw an anchor to windward and hark to our chantey, or something. Don Dickerman, that old Jolly Rover, has designed these ship-shape High Ball Glasses. Reading fore to aft they are $6 for six. To leeward we have a decanter for holding guess-what. It’s yours for only $3. Two points to starboard you pick up the ice tub with tongs. It’s hard to believe that it is only $3.50. Now this is the idea: Stow away the complete set in the galley of your yacht, your out-board or by the ship model on the mantel over the fire-place. Can you think of any gear that will get more use? The crystal ware shown walking the plank can be obtained at any of the better shops, or will be sent direct postpaid on request. Dunbar Glass Corporation. 181 Dunbar Street, Dunbar, West Virginia.
