What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and reader correspondence**, not political satire. The main content includes: - **Colt Revolvers ad**: A technical diagram listing five features claiming superiority over competitor revolvers, marketed to military and police. - **W.L. Douglas Shoes ad**: Promoting hand-sewn shoes at various price points ($2-$5 for men's, $2-$3 for women's), emphasizing durability and American manufacturing. - **Reader letters** discussing animal welfare—specifically whether fur coats are ethical and whether guns should be trained for battlefield use rather than hunting. - **Book advertisement** for *Sally Bishop* by Temple Thurston (third edition). The page reflects early 20th-century consumer culture and middle-class concerns about morality and practical goods rather than political commentary.

There is no ether or chloroform or morphine for the wild animal; it lies in the trap until it dies from the pain, or freezes or starves to death. Sometimes it lives until the trapper, on his weekly visit, gives it a merciful blow on the head. And the reason for this? That our women may be adorned. Nothing more, To say that fur coats are needed in our big cities in the er is piffle. It is very rarely so cold. Also, though it is a matter for controversy, I believe most physicians will say that fur gar- ments are really conducive to colds and that outer garments of wool are really more healthful. I can’t say definitely that this is true; for your own infor- mation you might look it up. You are closer to authoritative information than I am. Now, how about it? Lire, if you wish to do something goed along this line, why not train your guns on the battleship instead of the tugboat? Manifestly such action would not be popular; lots of us, though, have our own opinions of popular ideas. I have tried to base this argument on judgment rather than on sentiment, which is not always done by the peo- ple 1 would try to convince. I think you are wrong in much that you say against animal experimentation. I do not feel that you are wrong. I think so.
