What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising**, not satire or political commentary. It contains multiple product advertisements typical of the era: **Main Content:** - Hair restoration product (Mary T. Goldman's Hair Color Restorer) - Tobacco pouch - Dandruff treatment (Liquid Arvon) - Wigs and toupees - German Army surplus binoculars **The Editorial Essay** ("There's No Place Like Home") is a sentimental, non-satirical piece expressing nostalgia for domestic comfort over exotic travel—a common theme in period magazines. It celebrates homely details (slippers, coffee, thumb-tacks) over distant adventures. **Historical Context:** The German Army binoculars represent surplus military equipment available after WWI, marketed to American consumers as quality optical instruments. This is a standard commercial magazine page with no discernible political cartoons, caricatures, or satire requiring historical context to understand. It reflects 1920s-30s consumer culture and advertising conventions.

An Easy Way to Remove Dandruff If you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid | of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don’t. The best way to get rid of dandruff is to | dis: solve it. To do this, just apply a little Liquid Arvon at night before retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp, and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most, if not all, of your | dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications should completely re- move every sign and trace of it. You will find, too, that all itching of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a hundred times better. You can get Liquid Arvon at any drug store. A four- ounce bottle is usually all that is needed. The R. L. Watkins Co., Cleveland, Ohie. WIGS AND PATENT TOUPEES Watts MaRS Real colt foundations” Iilustrated catalogue sent free.

Even if we do talk about taking trips around the world, or embarking on expeditions to the North Pole, or setting out for the South Seas. There's something about the other places that never measures up to home. There’s something about them that we can't help missing. Our slippers aren't laid out for us in the same way. The bed doesn’t feel half so cozy. The coffee doesn’t taste nearly so good. And we never know where to look for the glue or the thumb-tacks. It isn’t the same when we awake in the morning. Of course, there are all sorts of astonishing sights to see at other places. But, somehow, we'd rather be com- fortable than see sights. Then, there isn't the same being used to things. And there isn’t the same feeling of There's no place ease. We can knock it all we want to, and say we're tired of the old place, but just give us a few days somewhere else, and we're ready to hop back on the jump. Then we'll swear that there's no place in the world that can touch it. Cc. G. S. Books Received The Man Himself: the Nazarene, by Rollin Lynde Hartt_ (Doubleday, Page).
