What you’re looking at
This page contains two main elements: **Top Advertisement**: An Afro-American Advertising Company advertisement for *Life* magazine itself, featuring a child chasing various animals with the motto "No matter where you are or what your pursuit—obey that impulse!" This is promotional material emphasizing the magazine's broad appeal. **Bottom Cartoon ("The Laugh On Them")**: Shows two men discussing baseball. One appears to be a businessman (possibly representing an owner or manager), the other a player wearing a "White Sox" uniform. The joke references an upcoming Baseball Number of *Life* magazine appearing in two weeks, with wordplay about the publication's Baseball Number "won't be in it"—likely satirizing either the magazine's sports coverage or contemporary baseball controversies, though the specific reference remains unclear without additional context.
