What you’re looking at
This page contains advertisements and a cartoon rather than political satire. **The Advertisements:** - **Club Cocktails** (left): Promotes pre-made cocktails by G.F. Heublein & Brother, arguing that homemade cocktails mixed by guesswork produce poor results, while professionally manufactured ones are precisely measured and aged properly. - **Astor Trust Company** (right): A financial services advertisement targeting out-of-town visitors and residents of New York City, offering banking services, safe deposit boxes, and travelers' checks. **The Cartoon:** The bottom right shows a titled illustration: "A MAN IS KNOWN BY THE COMPANY HE KEEPS." It depicts a well-dressed gentleman with a cane holding a small dog while standing near a shop window. The joke appears to be a visual pun—the man's character is reflected in his choice of "company" (his pet dog), though the specific satirical point remains somewhat obscure without additional context about the magazine's publication date.
