What you’re looking at

This page is primarily a **Morgan & Wright Tires advertisement**, not political satire. The ad uses educational messaging to explain tire construction and promote their product's durability against "blisters" (tire damage from overheating). The left column contains **"The Saving of the State,"** a patriotic poem apparently celebrating tariff policy and nationalist economic measures—though the OCR text is fragmentary, making specific references unclear. It mentions figures like "Amos Begg of Amokeag" and references to tariffs, salt fish, and "foreign ports." Below that is an advertisement for a book called **"Sexology"** by William H. Walling, marketed as medical/educational knowledge for married couples. The right side includes poems about food preservation during what appears to be wartime rationing ("alien sausage was repulsed"). **This is advertising and patriotic content, not political commentary.**

Tires may all be considered as consisting of two parts—the carcass or inner fabric framework and the tread or outer rubber cover. Blisters always start at the juncture of these two parts.

Ah, those were days of stir and strife, of fervid speech and scenes To make the blood grow red and hot! One hero saved Baked Beans From alien treason’s fell attack with fluent speech and bold, As did Horatius keep the bridge in the brave days of old.
