What you’re looking at

This page contains primarily **advertising and light satirical content** rather than political commentary. The main illustrated content includes: 1. **"Murray & Lanman's Florida Water"** advertisement—a perfume ad emphasizing the product's utility for handkerchiefs and clothing, presented as an indispensable item on women's dressing tables. 2. **"Sealing Sady" perfume ad**—a "Jolley" creation claiming to create "instantaneous fame" in Paris and London, using visual humor with a stylized female figure. 3. **"Rhymed Reviews: Ever After"** by Juliet Wilbor Tompkins—a satirical poem about a young couple's financial struggles after marriage, mocking romantic ideals versus economic reality. The page reflects early 20th-century consumer culture and modest social satire about courtship and marriage economics, rather than serious political content.

OLY Grandpa Copter, Boston bred, Amassed a fortune fat and juicy; And this, besides his thrifty head, Descended to his grandchild, Lucy. Though Lucy had a kindly heart And charitable inclinations, She couldn't freely spend—to part With money gave her palpitations. Her trouble wasn’t really greed; She tried to give as want demanded And loved to do a helpful deed, But simply wasn’t open-handed. Prim Lucy married young Malone, A California-born musician, Who had no money of his own, But heaps of talent and ambition. Malone, all vigor, joy and life, When raised to affluence from tat- ters, Was shocked to find his darling wife So close and mean in money matters. For him, to give was pure delight (He handed fifty to a porter), While Lucy didn’t think it right To spend her income’s half or quarter. These two young creatures groaned and sighed When laughter would have made them wiser, Until Malone, despairing, cried: “My Lucy, you're a little miser! “T will not use your precious hoard; I'll go to work, and when I find that My art can win you bed and board Come home—but I'll be master, mind that!” This state of matters couldn't hold; So Lucy found a way to mend it. She gave her husband all her gold And begged him please to save or spend it. So thus, in spite of pounds and pence, Was married happiness and bliss won, 1 would that books of more pretense Were written half as well as this one, Arthur Guiterman, This Country? s Most Eminent Physicians Testify to the Value of For Uric Acid Diathesis or Lithemic Con- ditions, Gout, Rheumatism, Renal Calculi, Stonein the Bladder, Gall Stones, Bright's Disease, DR £*0.
