What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising with a serialized story excerpt**, not a political cartoon. The main content is a continuation of "Casey at the Bat," the famous baseball poem. The excerpt shows Casey at bat ignoring two strikes with characteristic arrogance and "Christian charity"—he even calms an angry crowd calling for the umpire's death. The narrative setup promises dramatic tension: will Casey strike out? The page is dominated by **period advertisements** (circa 1910s-1920s): - Rowe's bed hammocks - Monroe refrigerators - Mennen's talcum powder (notably in "Flesh Tint" for women of darker complexions) - Motor apparel shop These ads reveal early 20th-century consumer concerns: outdoor leisure furniture, home refrigeration (a novelty), and cosmetics marketing. The "Flesh Tint" powder advertisement is notable for explicitly addressing women seeking non-white powder options, reflecting era-specific beauty standards and market segmentation. There are **no political cartoons** visible on this page.

Monroe Refrigerator Co., Station 10, Cincinnati, 0. Close by the sturdy batsman the ball un- heeded sped— “That ain't my style," said Casey. Strike one!"? the umpire said. From the benches, black with people, there went up a muffled roar, Like the beating of the storm-waves on a stern and distant shore. “Kill him! Kill the umpire!" shouted some one in the stand; And it's likely they'd have killed him had not Casey raised his hand. With a smile of Christian charity great Casey's visage shone; He stilled the rising tumult; he bade the game go on; He signalled to the pitcher and once more the spheroid flew; But Casey still ignored it and the umpire said: “ Strike two!” MENNEN’S FLESH TINT TALCUM This New Mennen Toilet Prep- aration will make instant appeal to every woman who for any reason cannot use a white powder, Flesh Tint can be used by the woman with a high color and the woman with a delicate complexion with equal benefit.

Makers of the celebrated Mennen's Borated Talcum Toilet Powder “Fraud!"’ cried the maddened thou- sands, and the echo answered “ Fraud!” But one scornful look from Casey and the audience was awed. They saw his face grow stern and cold, they saw his muscles strain, And they knew that Casey wouldn't let that ball go by again. The sneer is gone from Casey's lip, his teeth are clinched in hate; He pounds with cruel violence his bat upon the plate. And now the pitcher holds the ball and now he's let it go, And now the air is shattered by the force of Casey’s blow. Oh! somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright; The band is playing somewhere and somewhere hearts are light, 42 Bissell will pick it up This common expression is amply justified hy the all-around utility of the Bissell Sweeper.
