What you’re looking at
This page contains primarily **advertisements** integrated with a short allegorical story. The lead piece, "Indissoluble Partners," is a philosophical fable depicting Memory and Imagination debating their relative importance. Memory claims to preserve accomplishments; Imagination claims to create them. The moral concludes they're mutually dependent—neither can function alone. The main advertisement is for the **Kissel All-Year Car**, promoting a vehicle with a detachable top convertible between winter sedan and summer touring car. The ad's accompanying illustration shows a child wishing "Dad had bought an All-Year Car," emphasizing family versatility. Secondary ads include **Dioxogen** (a hydrogen peroxide disinfectant), **Capewell** horseshoe nails, the **Morley Phone for the Deaf**, and brief items about horse care and an unidentified product. The page reflects early 1920s automotive marketing (the price range $1050-$2000 suggests this era) and period concerns like infection prevention and assistive devices for disabled users. The allegorical story essentially argues that memory and imagination together equal usefulness—mirroring the advertisement's message that one versatile car serves multiple purposes.

Indissoluble Partners EMORY and Imagination had a discussion as to which was the greater. “Without me,” said Memory, “ your buildings, your fine castles, would all go down. I alone give you power to retain them.” “Without me,” said Imagination, “there would be no use of retaining them, for, indeed, they wouldn't be there. I am the great builder.” “And I the great recorder.” “Tt appears, then, that no one of us is greater than the other. Yet I would not change places with you.” “Why not?” said Memory. “ Because,” replied — Imagination, “without you I can still keep on creat- ing over and over.” At the end of a year Memory came back. “What have you done?" asked Memory. “Nothing,” said Imagination. “And you were wrong when you said that without me you could still go on creating.” “Yes. I did not realize how depen- dent I was upon you. What have you been doing during the year?” “I wish Dad had bought an All-Year Car” For the family this Winter Drive to business in a cozy ALL-YEAR Car—take the kiddies along and drop them off at school—send the car back to your wife for shopping or social duties—these are some of the advantages in owning the Kissel ALL-YEAR Car.
