What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising**, not editorial satire. It contains four distinct advertisements typical of early 1910s consumer magazines: 1. **Murad Cigarettes**: Promotes Turkish cigarettes as the best-selling 15-cent brand, emphasizing quality and consumer loyalty. 2. **Chateau Laurier Hotel** (Ottawa): Markets a luxury Canadian hotel at $2.00+ per night, targeting tourists. 3. **Houbigant Quelques Fleurs Perfume**: A high-end fragrance advertisement emphasizing elegance and femininity. 4. **Dodge Brothers Motor Car**: Highlights affordability ($785 complete) with moderate tire expenses. The page also includes an editorial piece on "More Rabies" discussing a false rabies scare caused by a dog choking on candy—a brief cautionary tale about public panic and cowardice. The art essay discussing what constitutes true art appears to be editorial filler. **No political cartoon or satire is present on this page.**

THE TURKISH CIGARETTE HOUSANDS of smokers of 25 cent brands have tried MURADS, adopted MURADS, and remained loyal to MURADS — because they like MURADS better.

Nobody really knows what truth is, yet art is said to be truth plus personality. Personality itself is our most incomprehensible enigma. Art must possess a supreme and con- stantly increasing interest. The best and most unfailing test of art is when it endures. Time, therefore, is neces- sary to proclaim it. All masterpieces turned out overnight are not to be trusted. The true artist ‘is, therefore, most likely to be unknown. Time crowns him master with one hand and destroys him with the other. More Rabies It is a real pleasure to be able to call attention to a case of so-called “ rabies” which failed to scare one sensible man. The kennel master of the Animal Res. cue League found two policemen waiting for a “mad dog” to come out of a store on Dudlcy Strect and be shot. Mr, Rowlinson, going in fearlessly, discoy- ered a dog to whom some fool had given some sticky candy. The dog, frightened when he found his jaws stuck together, had had a fit, and when found was too weak to walk But for the arrival of Mr. Rowlinson there would have been more scare heads like “Epidemic of Rabies Spreads to Boston, Cowardice among men is responsible for most of the “rabies” stories, and mistreatment of dogs for a good deal of the remainder, —Boston Morning Globe. HOUBIGANT y i _ QUELQUES FLEURS HOUBIGANT’S QUELQUES FLEURS PERFUME suggests a profusion of newly picked blossoms, a heaping armful of treasures of the garden, lavishly gathered. It suggests a massed bouquet of flowers, and seems to symbolize abundant womanhood—a generous sympathy that is like a welcome.
