What you’re looking at
This page consists primarily of **advertisements** rather than editorial cartoons. The main content includes: 1. **Brooks Brothers** clothing ad for boys' department 2. **Usher's Whisky** advertisement ("A Whisky That Will Agree with You") 3. **Pantasote Company** ad for automobile top leather material 4. A **cartoon illustration** showing a comedic figure (appears to be an Irishman based on stereotypical depiction) saying "Hi, Mike! Would yez come here an' see this dom fool at a bug." The cartoon appears to use period ethnic stereotyping common to early 20th-century American humor. The joke seems to involve someone calling attention to a fool ("dom fool") and a bug, though the exact satirical point is unclear without additional context.

TWENTY-SECOND ST., NEW YORK A good material for an Automobile Top must resist exposure to sun, rain and snow, and be readily cleaned from grease. None but the genuine PAN- TASOTE leather will meet these requirements and keep the Automobile looking always at its best. Is absolutely waterproof and retains its color. If your dealer tries to sell you a substitute, he probably does it for his own profit, at your loss. Imitations when new are deceiving. Superior to cloth on both sides materials (‘* mohairs,”’ etc.), for many reasons, two in particular—the impossibility of removing dust, dirt and stains from their outer side, and the fact that their interlining of impure rubber is ruined by exposure to sunlight or grease, as are tires.
