What you’re looking at

This page contains mostly **advertisements and travel promotion** rather than political cartoons or satire requiring historical context. The main content includes: 1. **Tucson tourism ad** - promoting Arizona's winter climate and reduced railroad fares to attract wealthy tourists and retirees seeking health benefits 2. **A poem titled "Not To-day!"** - personifying winter/summer in romantic verse; unclear satirical intent 3. **"As the Twig Is Bent, So Do the Nuts Fall"** - a humorous short story comparing two brothers: one becomes a theatrical performer (Sandy), the other aspires to be a policeman (Albert). The narrative appears to satirize childhood aspirations and how parental indulgence shapes adult outcomes 4. **Product advertisements** for Bayer Aspirin and Forhan's toothpaste (for gum disease) The page is primarily **commercial in nature** rather than political satire. The story about the brothers uses gentle humor but lacks clear social commentary beyond typical turn-of-the-century attitudes toward ambition and respectability.

Gilbert would have put into a “Bab Ballad.” He couldn’t have escaped doing it, for their names were San- derford Cornelius and Albert Henry Volk, whose father and whose mother were two poor but honest folk—there, you see the possibilities ? When young, Sanderford showed every sign of an incipient stage career. He loved to learn little reci- tations, and what was worse, he loved to recite them. And always did. Albert, on the other hand, decided early in life that he would be a po- liceman when he grew up; not an unusual childish desire, and one re- garded indulgently by his parents, who bought him a toy club, cap pis- tol, and a little tin shield. By the time Sandy, as we may now call him, reached high-school age he was in all the senior plays, wore suits just a little too tight for him, and Aspirin Say “Bayer” and Insist! Unless you see the name “Bayer” on package or on tablets you are not get- ting the genuine Bayer product prescribed by physicians over twenty-two years and proved safe by millions for Colds Headache Toothache Lumbago Earache Rheumatism Neuralgia Pain, Pain Accept “Bayer Tablets of Aspirin” only.

But Sandy was made of sterner stuff, and surprised everyone. He actually became an actor, and a good one, too, and now has his own stock company and theatre. His favorite rdles are those of policemen in crook melodramas. And what of little Albert, left alone in the third paragraph? Ah-ha, he fooled them all. When he grew up, he threw away his puerile police paraphernalia in disdain; then he joined the force so he could wear a real shield and carty a regulation billy and revolver. Now he is a crack detective, and is never happier than when his duties call for a disguise of wig, false whiskers and other theatrical artifices. There is no special moral to this, though no doubt there should be: “You never can tell” might do, but it isn’t exactly true, for you us ually can. A.C. M.A comicbooks.com
