What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising**, not satire or political commentary. The advertisements include: - **Kor-Ker Puncture Cure** (tire repair): promoting instant sealing of punctures, targeting owners of early automobiles - **Delco Electric Lighting and Ignition**: the main advertisement, featuring a vintage car and arguing that electrical equipment quality determines overall vehicle quality - **Alcemo Quick Chain Attacher**: snow/mud tire chains - **Grand Marnier Liquor**: certified French import - A brief essay on **International Law** (unrelated to images) The Delco ad emphasizes that electrical systems were crucial to modern cars—a significant selling point in this early automotive era. The other ads reflect practical concerns of early 1900s motorists: tire failures, winter driving, and starting difficulties. This is a commercial magazine page, not editorial satire.

Interna- tional law is only a compilation of the precedents that diplomats have established, but as diplomats never do important things twice alike, these precedents merely show us what never can happen again. There is no duly constituted and recognized authority which can pass, repeal, execute or jurisprudentiate international law. With this understanding, let college profes- sors, statesmen, editorial writers and other animalculz continue to talk about it with their customary reverence. Gray Marnier LIQVOR MADE IN PARIS Purity certified toby theFrench Government WILLIAMS & HUMBERT U.S. Agents, 1158 Broadway, NewYork LIFE Hints to Financial Writers WOUNG financial writers who are anxious to make names for themselves should early develop an involved, lumbering style, full of ambiguities, double entendres and triple ententes. The use of long-lingering sentences and polysyllabic words of doubt- ful meaning will go a long way toward preventing the reader from finding out what you are trying to conceal, which is the chief desideratum, the summum bonum and the ultima Thule. Financial writers must at all times be prepared to stand between the financiers and the public. In order to do this they must find out what the financiers are trying to do and then state it so that the financiers seem to be trying to do something quite different. This requires finesse and literary legerdemain of a high order, for otherwise the public will escape from that state of blissful ignorance that makes it an easy mark. =DELCO= No Car Can Be Any Better Than Its Electrical Equipment Electricity is the nerve system of the modern motor car.
