What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising** rather than political satire. The dominant content features an AutoStrop Safety Razor ad with a portrait of a man and claims of "500 Shaves Guaranteed From 12 Blades." The left side contains a brief article titled "The Cause of Our Peril," which quotes David R. Forgan, president of the National City Bank of Chicago, on tight money conditions and banking panics since 1907. The article discusses currency laws and banker lending practices. Below that are advertisements for **Grentwolde** (a residential community) and **Fraser Motor Car Tours** in Europe. The page reflects early 20th-century concerns about monetary policy and financial stability, but the satirical content is minimal—this is primarily a commercial publication page.

es E have just passed through sixty days of the tightest money since 1907, and if anything had blown up, we should have had another panic.” This statement was made the other day by Mr. David R. Forgan, president of the National City Bank of Chicago. The cause of the peril he attributes to our archaic currency laws. Mr. Forgan has the advantage of us. Of course, we know that a panic is likely to follow a “ blow up,” whatever that is. But when it comes to the rela- tive rigidity of money, he can tell us that it is tight or loose—it is all the same.
