This page contains two unrelated advertisements with no political cartoon. **Left side:** Detroit Electric Car Company promotes their electric automobile as a luxury vehicle for the "discriminating minority"—positioning it as superior in aesthetics, cleanliness, and safety compared to gas cars accessible to "everybody." The ad reflects early 1900s class distinctions and the brief period when electric cars competed with gasoline engines before gas cars dominated the market. **Right side:** Huyler's candies advertisement emphasizes product variety to suit different occasions and tastes. **Bottom:** A small cartoon labeled "Cellar Soloist" shows a man in a cellar singing, with the caption "Oh, that we two were maying!"—a lighthearted joke about romantic sentiment expressed in an awkward location rather than outdoors during springtime ("maying").

Perhaps it is because in grace of line, beauty of finish, and artistry of inte- rior fittings the electric is unequalled. Perhaps it is the superior cleanliness, ease of operation and safety of the electric. Or perhaps it is that while some type of gas car is within reach of everybody, the fine electric is essen- tially the car of the discriminatin3, minority. This year's Detroit Electric is the supreme achievement of years of dominance. Every lover of a fine car should see it.
