What you’re looking at

This page mixes editorial content with advertising. The main items are: **"No Doubt About It"**: A humorous anecdote about Andrew Jackson (U.S. president, died 1845). A Democratic merchant and Anti-Jackson broker debate whether Jackson went to heaven. The joke relies on the merchant's certainty that if Jackson *decided* to do something, he'd accomplish it—even reaching heaven—playing on Jackson's reputation for iron-willed determination. **"Goodrich Road Markers"**: A substantial advertisement for B.F. Goodrich tire company, promoting their system of permanent road signs installed across America to help tourists navigate. This reflects early-20th-century automobile tourism infrastructure development. **Minor items**: A "Sexology" book advertisement and brief satirical snippets about suspicious men and making religion attractive. The page is primarily **commercial**, with the Jackson anecdote providing light historical humor based on the president's famous stubbornness.

No Doubt About It After the death of Andrew Jackson the following conversation is said to have occurred between an Anti-Jackson broker and a Democratic merchant: Mercuant (with a sigh): “ Well, the old General is dead.” Broxer (with a shrug): “Yes, he's gone at last.” Mercuant (not appreciating the shrug): “ Well, sir, he was a good man.” Broxer (with shrug more pro- nounced) : “I don’t know about that.” MercHant (energetically): “He was a good man, sir. If any man has gone to heaven, General Jackson has gone to heaven.” Broxer (doggedly): “I don't know about that.” Mercuant: “ Well, sir, I tell you that if Andrew Jackson had made up his mind to go to heaven, you may depend upon it he’s there.” Proving a Claim “Very suspicious man, they say.” “Very.

That service is extended by a system \and in Europe. It has been further extended by a ‘system of road marking so broad and thorough in /its scope that nothing like it has ever been at- y tempted except in certain districts of France. Zhe Goodrich Road Marker is a handsome, 2 permanent sign, including a heavy post of creo- soted timber, anchored in the ground, bearing a metal disc which gives accur- ate road distances and directions, to- gether with other information of great value to the tourist; such as the location of gasoline, tire and repair stations; dangerous crossings, grades, etc. These markers have been erected by expert Goodrich crews, over the best touring section of New England; all the way from Cleveland to Buffalo; to Albany and New York City; New York to Philadelphia to ‘Atlantic City, and back to New York by way of Lakewood; throughout Long Island, New Jersey and the Connecticut River Valley; also in South- ern California, as far south as the Mexican border. The work has been planned to include all the main transcontinental touring routes, as well as all roads connecting principal cities and towns everywhere. It is going on now and will continue until every tourable highway in the country has been covered by our crews, Route Books, containing accurate maps, have been pre- pared covering several important touring sections. Other books are now in preparation.
