What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising** with a small cartoon. The ads promote Franklin automobiles, diamond jewelry (Loftis Bros.), a sofa bed, and a golf ball. The cartoon shows **anthropomorphized animals** (appearing to be cats or dogs in clothing) at a table. One says: "Samuel, I should like to go to college, but I know I never could pass the entrance exam. But, why don't you hire a coach dog?" This is a **visual pun** playing on "coach dog" (a Dalmatian breed historically used with carriages) versus a human tutor/coach. The joke relies on wordplay rather than political satire—it's gentle humor about entrance exams and hiring tutors, typical of Life magazine's lighter comedic content from this era.

Type E “The Speed Merchant” Any business man, doctor, sub- urbanite, owner of a big touring- car, or any one else who wants all kinds of speed for his money will certainly find this little Gentle- man’s Roadster “delivering the goods.” Don't class it merely asa runabout. It is more. It belongs in the same stable with the highest-powered touring-cars— American of foreign. It goes 40 miles an hour :—not theoretically but actually. There's no other such combination of tunabout lightness with touring power, strength and speed. This comes from the same essential qualities that make all Franklin models conspicuously able ; but they shine out in Type E in a way to make it positively unique among motor- cars, Send for catalogue and the ‘Coast to Coast” booklet in which Mr. Whitman describes his last summer's trip in this car from San Francisco to New York in less than 33 days, Six Models for 1905 H.
