This page combines three distinct elements: **Left side:** "Fidelity Rewarded," a sentimental poem by Dorothy Greenfeld criticizing animal experimentation. It's a dog's monologue lamenting that despite faithful service to its master, he used it for laboratory torture—referenced as Prof. Rutherford's admission that he "experimented on dogs old and otherwise worthless." The poem mocks the scientist's callousness toward the animal's devotion. **Lower left:** An advertisement for Old Overholt Rye whiskey, featuring a colonial-era figure and a humorous anecdote about King George III supposedly demanding a ten-year subscription to LIFE after running out. **Right side:** A Westinghouse Electric advertisement promoting automobile electrical equipment, using winter cold-start performance as a selling point. The page reflects early 20th-century attitudes: concern about scientific ethics, nostalgia for monarchy, and industrial advertising dominance in popular magazines.

ARB a oe a Fidelity Rewarded By Dorothy Greenfell A comment on words uttered by the late Prof. Rutherford: “We experi- mented on dogs old and otherwise worth- ess. “T was not useful? So He says; nor young, nor strong; My master ought to know, I've followed him so long. “For many and many a day I followed well content, Might I but go the way That he, my master, went. “T listened for his foot, I strove his thought to scan; For I was but a brute, And he I loved was man. oe “Some secret hint to track, Of life's poor trembling frame, He nailed me to a rack ‘And pierced and tore my frame. “He saw me slowly die In agonies acute, For he was man, and I Was nothing but a brute.” —From The Open Door. “7 OUNDS!” exclaimed George III when the Chancellor of the Exchequer informed him that he could not have that week's copy of Lire be- cause the Royal Purveyor of Peri- odicals had sold out his supply. “Send @ ten years’ subscription to the pub- lishers, so this shan’t occur again.” OLD OVERHOLT tled in bond—a surety of its purity. To introduce Old Overholt Rye to those The Temperature Test Through the long night, the cold has been ceaselessly working to put shackles on your engine. It has thickened the lubricating oil, made a veritable refrigerator of the gas passages and sent the temperature of the gasoline plung- ing downwards. In short, it has done almost everythin, ssible to make the engine “stift” and the fuel slow to vaporize. Yet when you take the wheel of your car these winter mornings and press your foot on the start- ing button, it is up to your elec- trical system to undo all this in a moment. Such mornings as these provide a severe test of your car’s electri- cal equipment. Andon such morn- ings as these you appreciate the exceptional engineering ability and the extra care that go into West- inghouse Equipment. A quick start in cold weather requires a starter with capacity to whirl the flywheel of a “stiff” en- gine at high speed. This, in turn, demands a generator that does its part in keeping the storage bat- tery fully charged. And, of course, there must be a “fat” spark .in the combustion chambers. Westinghouse Starting Motors are built to turn over the flywheel of a cold engine at from 150 to 175 revolutions a minute, insur- ing rapid vaporizing of the gas, and to do it with the least cur- rent, so as not to drain the battery. __ Westinghouse Generators begin charg: ing the battery at low engine-speed, but are so regulated that they do not over charge it at high speed. Westinghouse Ignition Units can be counted upon to put the spark where it’s needed when it's needed. These are some of the reasons the makers of the fifty-three automobiles here named are willing to pay the higher price for Westinghouse Equipment.
