Life — September 23, 1915 — page 44: what you’re looking at
What you’re looking at
This page consists primarily of advertisements (Collier's magazine and Maillard chocolates) rather than satirical cartoons. The left side promotes a Collier's article by Charles E. Van Loan about a racehorse named "Sanguinary Jeremiah" owned by someone called "Old Man Curry." The joke appears to be that Van Loan has humorously named Curry's stable of racehorses after biblical prophets. The text suggests this is entertaining enough to warrant recommendation. The right side advertises Maillard bonbons/chocolates at a Fifth Avenue location, with a small illustration of what appears to be an old-fashioned figure and a dancing figure—likely just decorative advertisement imagery rather than political satire. The cartoon at the bottom right ("Your hyphen or your life!") remains unclear without additional context.
