Life — November 13, 1913 — page 34: what you’re looking at
What you’re looking at
This page consists primarily of **advertisements and a single cartoon**, not political satire. **Advertisements:** - Arrow shirt collar (emphasizing a flat bosom design) - Usher's whisky (claiming refinement across "Six Reigns") - A "Kismet" postcard featuring a rooster with caption "What's use, anyway? Nothing but an egg yesterday and a feather duster to-morrow"—meant as an encouraging gift for someone facing bad luck **The Cartoon:** The bottom right shows a gentleman in top hat with a cane next to a dog, captioned "If you have doubts about a man, try him on a dog." This reflects the early 20th-century belief that character could be judged by how animals—particularly dogs—responded to someone. It's a satirical jab suggesting that a man's treatment of animals reveals his true nature. The page is primarily **commercial content** typical of Life magazine's advertising-heavy format rather than political commentary.
