What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and editorial content** rather than political satire. The top half features a **Franklin Simon & Co. advertisement** for women's silk underwear and hosiery, showing three models in undergarments with product descriptions and prices (ranging from $1.45 to $3.95). The bottom half contains an editorial piece titled "Some Pictures That Belong to Yale," discussing Professor Oswald Siren's inspection of the Yale Art Museum's Italian "primitive" paintings and John Trumbull collection. The text urges Yale (and other institutions) to properly preserve these valuable artworks rather than let them deteriorate or be dispersed. A single **cartoon illustration** accompanies this article, showing what appears to be street vendors or working-class figures. The caption reads: "COME ON, FELLERS, FOLLER ME. I KNOW WHERE THERE'S A FRUIT PEDDLER THAT'S TOO FAT TO RUN." This cartoon's connection to the Yale art discussion is unclear from context alone.

The Yale Art collection consists chiefly of these Jarves pictures (bequeathed to the university forty or fifty years ago) and pictures by John Trumbull, which were bought from him and given to Yale to save them from being dispersed. The “ primitives” and the Trumbulls make a wonderfully incongruous collection, but they are interesting and valu- able, and Yale ought either to house them safely and take Proper care of them, or let some one else do it who can. Professor Siren says the Jarves collection is worth at least.a million dollars, Please take notice, good New Haven friends. Don't let those “primitives” rot away, nor yet burn up. If you should feel free, and disposed, to entrust them to other “COME ON, FELLERS, FOLLER ME. I KNOW WHERE THERE'S hands, no doubt the Metropolitan Museum would buy them.
