What you’re looking at

This page is **primarily advertising** (approximately 70% of content), not political satire or comics. The main advertisements are: 1. **Hartshorn Shade Rollers** – a household product pitch 2. **Denby Motor Trucks** – commercial vehicle marketing with two photographs showing trucks and their delivery capabilities 3. **Stromberg Carburetor** – automobile efficiency product The only substantive editorial content is a brief essay titled "Which One Are You?" that discusses two human types: the "inspired" versus "uninspired." This appears to be a generalized philosophical commentary rather than political satire, distinguishing between ambitious and passive personalities. The page reflects 1920s-era magazine format, mixing editorial content with consumer advertising targeted at businesspeople and vehicle owners.

'HE people of this world are divided into two classes—the inspired and the uninspired. When you become in- spired nothing more can be done about you; persuasion, entreaty, adversity, the “slings and arrows of outrageous for- tune,” and, in fact, all the legitimate and illegitimate things that may happen to a human being are of no avail against you. You are inspired and that settles the matter. The world can blow up, the stars can change their courses, the sun can go out—it’s all one and the same. The uninspired are, mostly, the rest of the world. You can watch them from any window on Broadway or the Champs Elysées; you can also see them in Pic- cadilly and in Shepheard’s Hotel in Cairo. They are not infrequently among the members of your immediate family. Uninspired people are only ir- ritating when you come in contact with them, They produce no sound.
