What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and miscellaneous content** rather than political satire or comics requiring historical context. **Main Content:** The centerpiece is "Paradoxical Proverbs" by Frank William Holslag—a collection of contradictory sayings meant to humorously expose life's inconsistencies. Examples include "Love never dies" paired with "When poverty enters the door, love leaps out the window" and "Never judge by appearances" versus "Every bird is known by its feathers." The satire is mild social observation about human hypocrisy and self-contradiction, not political commentary. **Advertisements:** The page features product ads for Hansen Gloves, Barrett Automobile Jacks, and a book on poker strategy. A small joke at bottom depicts a child's malapropism: "panther" meaning "a man that makths panth." **Historical Note:** This appears to be early 20th-century content with no specific political cartoon or caricature requiring identification. The page functions as a typical magazine layout mixing light humor with commerce.

Wise rats desert a sinking ship. Love never dies. When poverty enters the door, love leaps out the window. Return good for evil. Pay him back in his own coin, As you sow, so shall you reap. A bad start, a good finish. In peace prepare for war. Never cross a bridge until you come to it. Everybody feels for the under-dog. When a man is down everybody jumps on him. When in Rome do as the Romans do, Do only that which is right. Better half bad than all bad. A lie that is half truth is the blackest. An honest man cannot be bought. Every man has his price. Never howl until you are hit. A stitch in time saves nine. A rolling stone gathers no moss. A setting hen lays no eggs. Strive not against the stream. He who would reach the top first must climb the hill. Look before you leap. Hesitate and all is lost. Put by for a rainy day. Live while you live. Frank William Holslag. “Now, Dorothy,” said the teacher to a small pupil, “can you tell me what a panther is?” “Yeth, ma‘am,” lisped Dorothy. “A panther ith a man that makth panth.” —Chicago News, [* The Aristocrat ofAuto Jacks” BARRETT “Universal” bay HIS is No. 311 Uni- Rim versal, the Aristocrat of Auto feces built es. pecially for hk medium he: Every feature appeals to the owner who wants unparalleled ease and convenience of operas tion, The patented auto- matic reversing feature makes it necessary only to withdraw lever after raising and reinsert with side marked “Lower” facing up.
