What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertisements and a charitable fund listing**, not political satire. The main content includes: - A camera sales ad (Henderson Brothers) - Patent medicine ads (Bellans for indigestion, Mentholatum for skin) - A "Life's Fresh Air Fund" donor list (a real charity providing outdoor recreation for poor urban children) - An Edgeworth tobacco advertisement featuring a testimonial letter The tobacco ad is notable for its era-appropriate messaging: it promotes switching to pipe smoking via a personal endorsement from a 50-year-old man who converted from other tobacco use. The "ideal tobacco" framing reflects early 20th-century marketing that positioned certain products as lifestyle improvements. There is **no political cartoon** on this page. The satirical magazine *Life* used this space for revenue-generating advertisements alongside charitable appeals and product endorsements typical of 1920s publications.

Sooner or later we all choose the perfect smoke partner Here is an interesting letter from Mr. Charles H. Bishop of Chicago. It confirms the truth of an old proverb—“better late than never.” We hope that reading it may show some misguided pipe smoker the path to smoke satisfaction. Chicago, Il Larus & Bro, Co., Richmond, Va. Gentlemen: Iam glad to write you that I have con- vinced a man of fifty years’ smoking ex- perie h ever too late to change.” T! : to” Edge- worth is my father-in-law, now appro: ing seve Year after ‘year at Christ- mas I bought him, among other cco; but until s never wholly in But this Christmas T purchased Edge- worth, which he had tried after constant urging on my part—and he's satisfied! Yours sincerely, Charles H. Bishop. We are glad Mr. Bishop induced his father- in-law to try Edgeworth, and we hope that the old gentleman will derive much pleasure and comfort from his pipe for many years to come. But it seems to us ashame that he didn’t become acquainted with Edgeworth many years ago. We try to make Edgeworth a to- bacco that most men will like re- gardless of age, and the evidence would seem to show that we do. Of course, we don’t hope to suit every man’s taste, but a great many smokers have found Edgeworth “just right.” Why not let us send you a free sample of Edgeworth? Maybe it's just the smoke you've been looking for. Your name and address on a postal to Larus & Brother Company, 63 South 21st Street, Richmond, Va., will bring you generous samples of Edgeworth with our compliments. If you care to include your dealer’s name and whereabouts we will appreciate the courtesy. To Retail Tobacco Merchants: If your jonber cannot supply | you with Edgeworth, & Brother mpany will gladly send you prepaid by parcel post a one- or two- dozen carton of any size of Edgeworth Plug Slice or Ready-Rubbed for the same price you would pay the jobber. comicbooks.com
