What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and travel promotion**, not political satire. The dominant content includes: - A **Maxwell automobile advertisement** emphasizing the car's logical superiority - Tourism ads for **Bermuda, Florida, Cuba, and South Carolina** resorts - A **RAD-Bridge product advertisement** (appears to be a cabinet component) - The **Kenilworth Inn and Kirkwood hotel promotions** The only editorial content is **"Life's Letter Box,"** containing reader correspondence about publication quality and a social complaint about newspaper paragraphs regarding women and bird-hunting. This reflects early 1900s attitudes about gender and animal welfare rather than political satire. The page reflects 1908 consumer culture and leisure travel marketing to affluent readers, with minimal satirical intent.

WHO IS WITH US To tue Epitor or Lire: Permit me to congratulate you on your com- ment on Mrs. Wharton, in your issue of Novem- ber 26. I have nothing whatever against the lady personally, but she certainly does write the most dispiriting stuff to be as clever as she un- doubtedly is. I don’t care for the Comic Sup- plement, but I would suggest that we let Mrs. Wharton go first. In passing I want to pay tribute to the genuine humor and real freshness in everything you pub: lish, Every issue is a real joy. Of course I don’t always agree with you—who does? You don’t want or care for that. But I like your fair, fearless, clean style, and I wish you continued success in all your work. Very truly yours, Auuext Drarer, Battrwore, M., November 29, 1908. NO DENIAL FROM US To tue Epitox or Lire: Sir—Live is not only the best periodical of its kind in the world, but better still, it is, I be- lieve, the only absolutely fearless and honest publication of any kind in America, uninfluenced by the Jew advertiser's money on the one hand, or clerical malice and ostracism on the other. I thank Heaven there is one such paper left. Send prints to F. F, Patterson. Battimone, Mo., November 20, 1908. ND THEIR HATS To tHe Eprtor oF Liv Sir—Why do you put so many little cutting paragraphs in your paper about women who wear feathers, etc., on their hats? The paragraph you have this week about the father birds that were killed and the little sorrowing mother birds that were left in the nests and the “ Merry Widow" hats is frightful. Why do the papers persist in hitting at the women for wearing these things when the men who traffic in them are to blame? Men pride themselves on their understanding and on going straight to the root of matters. No why do not the men who are opposed to cruelty to animals and unlawful business go after the people who make a business of killing little birds for the decoration of women's hats?) They know where they get their goods and just how they are (Continued on poge 691.)
