What you’re looking at
This is **not a cartoon or satire page** — it's a straightforward **advertisement for Chandler automobiles** from the early 1920s. The image shows two Chandler vehicles parked in front of what appears to be a storefront or showroom, with pedestrians visible. The ad emphasizes the Chandler Six's "marvelous motor" and promotes two body styles: a seven-passenger sedan and four-passenger coupe, both praised for comfort and handsome design. The text targets "discriminating purchasers" and lists various models with prices ranging from $1,595 to $2,895. The Chandler Motor Car Company, based in Cleveland, Ohio, was a real automobile manufacturer of that era competing in the mid-range market. This represents typical automotive advertising from Life magazine's early 20th-century period.

The sedan seats seven persons, when the auxiliary chairs are used, and the coupe seats four. The highest development of the mod- ern coach-maker's art is seen in these two handsome Chandler closed cars. Yet, mounted on the standard Chandler chassis, distinguished above others for its really marvelous motor, they are most fairly priced.
