What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising content**, not political satire. It contains three distinct ads: 1. **Whiting's Paper Company** — promoting high-quality writing papers (Organdie Glacé and French Cheviot), emphasizing their superiority for correspondence. 2. **Rexall "Ninety Three" Hair Tonic** — featuring an illustration of a woman with dark hair and a child, advertising a hair product with a money-back guarantee. The ad emphasizes hair health and growth. 3. **Calox Tooth Powder** — a brief endorsement claiming superiority as a tooth powder for cleaning and deodorizing. There is **no political cartoon or social satire** on this page. The content reflects early 20th-century consumer goods marketed through lifestyle and quality claims typical of period magazine advertising.

Whiting’s Organdie Glacé was the first fabric finished pe of American manufacture an came at once the most popular paper for high class correspondence. Of a most agreeable writing surface it is in constant demand where the best is none too good. Its use is an evi- dence of culture and affords satis- faction both to user and receiver. Whiting’s French Cheviot is a very acceptable paper of similar finish and has found great favor with those who desire a good but less expensive paper. The fact that over four million pounds of Whiting’s French Cheviot paper have been sold without ever advertising it, is sufficient evidence of its merit and popularity as a medium priced paper. On sale wherever the better class of paper is obtainable. Have you ever used Whiting’s papers? When You Think of Writing, Think of Whiting.
