What you’re looking at
This page is primarily advertising and corporate information, not political satire. The content includes: **Advertisements:** Hardman "Sure Grip" tires (emphasizing durability over cheap alternatives), Maillard chocolates (imported French bonbons), and what appears to be an Astor Trust Company corporate listing. **The only cartoon** shows a couple in an early automobile, with dialogue: "Wife: BUT, ALFRED, IT'S BAD LUCK TO TURN BACK AFTER WE'VE STARTED. Hubby: MY DEAR, IT WILL BE WORSE LUCK IF WE GET CAUGHT IN A—" (text cuts off). This appears to be a domestic humor joke about superstition versus practical concerns during a car ride, likely referencing getting caught in bad weather or traffic. The page is essentially a period advertisement section with one modest comic strip segment, not satirical commentary.

Curren eh ONE TTR eTEP = i; HARDMAN “SureGrip’ Tires All owners should carefully consider the high cost of low priced tires. Blowouts, punc- tures and rim-cuts are hard on the mechanism of a car. Broken bearings and springs can be attributed to cheap tires. Use Hardman “Sure Grip’? Tires and avoid the necessity for frequently overhauling your car.
