This page consists primarily of **advertisements, not satirical cartoons**. It contains four ads from the early 20th century: 1. **Andrew Usher whisky** - promoting Scotch brands 2. **Hampshire Paper Company** - emphasizing their exclusive bond paper product 3. **Boston Garter** - a men's garter with a "Velvet Grip" cushion button clasp 4. **Havana Cigars** - advertising Cuban cigar brands from independent factories The Boston Garter ad includes an illustration of a leg wearing the product. These are straightforward commercial pitches highlighting product quality and prestige—typical of *Life* magazine's advertising content during this era.

We make bond paper—nothing else—because we know how to make it, and because OLD HAMPSHIRE BOND “Look for'the Water Mark” is the standard; and the demand for it by discrimi- nating business men and progressive mercantile houses makes it worth our while to devote our every energy tovits quality and quantity. We are the only paper makers in the world making bond paper exclusively. The printer “who knows” never Icses an oppor- tunity to cement his trade by recommending the bond with the crackle of quality. It costs a trifle more, of course. It should, but its proportionate cost over ordinary papersis very slight. ‘Write us on your present letterhead for the Bock of Specimens, showing Ovo Hampsuiaz Box in white and fourteen colors, printed, lithographed and engraved on letterheads, checks and other business forms, or ask your printer for it.
