What you’re looking at

This page combines **practical advice** with **period advertising**. The main content is a humorous essay by Homer Croy on men's hairstyling, offering tongue-in-cheek guidance on how different face shapes should wear hair—advice that reflects early 1900s grooming concerns. The tone is gently mocking: the essay acknowledges male vanity while offering counterintuitive suggestions (e.g., don't part hair early, work *with* your hairline rather than against it). The page is dominated by a **Premier automobile advertisement** featuring a luxury car and endorsement letters praising its performance in A.A.A. touring competitions. This occupies most of the visual space. Secondary ads for investment securities and banking services fill the lower left—typical of Life's era, when the magazine served educated, affluent readers interested in both satire and financial opportunity. There is **no political cartoon** on this page—it's primarily commercial content interspersed with lifestyle humor.

etc., at my own expense. surprise and delight you, to-day to WM. CHAS. KEENE, President LORRIMER INSTITUTE Men have so few beauty doctors that they should be especially grateful for the in ions given by Homer Croy on the manipulation of their hair, Leaving out of account those males who have got to the stage of using a huckaback towel for parting their scanty locks, Mr. Croy con- siders the needs of others with painstak- ing thoughtfulness : Men with low, squatting foreheads should not pull their hair down over their brows, and men whose foreheads are inning to work back should invite their locks down. If your hair has quiet- ly slipped down toward your cars on each side, leave it there. If you bring it up in strings and wisps it will merely look like climbing vines, and will never really have the free-and-easy, homelike appearance that ought to be the part of all natural hair. Do not part your hair any earlier than you can help. Hair is in a hurry these days, anyway. Usually it doesn’t stay more than long enough to make sure that the baby is going to be a boy before it hastens off. It will part of itself soon enough, the best you can do. Before combing your hair you should get acquainted with the architecture of your face. If your face is of the harvest moon variety, do not inlay your hair. Puff it up as much as possible.

W STERLING DEBENTURE CORPORATION PREMIER ePoven Car of Cuality The dignified beauty of the Premier is the outward and visible sign of well-balanced, plenteous power, and great strength, judiciously dis- tributed— Such power and strength as only steadfast adher- ence to the highest and soundest enginecring principles can bring forth. It is because of this that a Premier owner almost never changes, Because, too, of this devotion to lofty ideals the Premier has achieved its brilliant distinction in public endurance contests and private tours of the severest character.

But if your face is a long, galloping ensemble, do not encousage your hair to fluff. If your head inclines to run up to a cone, do not spread your hair around in imitation of a palm-tree thatch; rather fluff it up and winrow it for fear some unbred person will begin to talk about spring radish tops. —Argonaut.
