What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising** rather than editorial content. The top left features an ad for **Eux-e-sis**, an English shaving preparation endorsed by actor **Aimee Lloyd**, emphasizing convenience ("No Soap – No Brush – No Cup"). The center contains a sketch cartoon labeled "Little Slum Boy," depicting a child asking his mother: **"Mama, when we get to heaven will there be any grass to keep off of?"** This appears to be social commentary on urban poverty—suggesting slum children have no access to green space or nature. The right side advertises **Baker Electrics** automobiles and a **Knox Hat**. The overall page reflects early 1900s consumer culture and class-consciousness typical of Life magazine's satirical approach.

Suppose you exhaust your battery daily (few owners average this daily mileage with azy type of automobile); any | garage will recharge it for 30 to 50 cents. Assuming that you pay the Lighest price, | the cost for charging is $15.00 per month | if you operate your car every cay. Add to this, say, $2.00 per month for care of battery and you have a maximum main- tenance cost of $17.00 monthly.
