What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **automobile advertisements** (The Rambler, Barrett Jacks) with one small satirical cartoon at bottom left. The cartoon "Going for the Doctor" depicts two cartoon characters in exaggerated distress, apparently rushing or scrambling. The style suggests early 1900s slapstick humor. Without additional context visible on the page, the specific satirical point is **unclear**—it could reference medical emergencies, quack doctors, or general social anxiety of the era, but the image alone doesn't reveal the intended target or joke to a modern viewer. The cartoon's placement among automotive ads suggests it's filler content rather than the page's primary focus.

If the latter be true, why seek for a Speed Indicator? The most gruelling, most scientific, most elaborate tests for these instruments ever held in the Autotnobile World were those » under the auspices of the Automobile Club of Great Britain and Ireland. Only one instrument could stand all of these tests and that / instrument was the Jones Speedometer Winner of Gold Medal and highest award for superiority in the following points : Accuracy, Steadiness of Indicator, Dura- bility, Design, Finish and Workmanship, Reliability, Simplicity.
