What you’re looking at
This page contains two distinct items: **"Not Nohow" (Left Column):** A poem by Berton Braley expressing romantic devotion, insisting no place on Earth—despite exotic destinations like Siam or Alaska—compares to being with the beloved. It's sentimental verse typical of the era. **"Brightening Up the Vice-President" (Center):** Political satire suggesting Americans should visit the Vice-President, as he receives little attention or respect. The piece humorously proposes this would boost his morale and general intelligence—implying Vice-Presidents were traditionally overlooked and underestimated political figures. **"We Amaze Men" (Right):** A Palmolive Shaving Cream advertisement claiming superior lathering and skin benefits, offering a ten-shave sample trial. The page is primarily advertising with light political and romantic humor.

Not Nohow THERE ain't nobody nowhere That's half as sweet as you. { I should, maybe, go where Them great explorers do, To Siam or Alaska, Greenland or Athabasca, Ul bet I'd find it slow where You wasn’t right in view; There ain't nobody nowhere That's half as swect as you! I've lamped_the kind of show where There's girlies by the slew That evidently grow where The luscious peaches grew, But though each little cutic Ain't got a thing but beauty, They don’t cause me to glow where My heart is. Take my cuc, There ain't nobody nowhere That's half as sweet as you! I know I'd find it so where- Soever I went to, There ain't no place that’s nowhere Unless you're there—that's true. Life would be on the bum where You wasn't near me, somewhere ; Still, you was always joe where You stood with me, 'tain’t new! There ain't nobody nowhere That's half as sweet as you! Berton Braley. Brightening Up the Vice- President Ir is the duty of every An zen, when visiting in Washington, to call on the Vice-President. Any one can call on the President, but the Vice- President has never received the atten- tion from the people at large that his generous self-effacement and general lack of intelligence warrant. How can we expect to start a standard of moral- ity among our statesmen when we be- tray such indifference to this patriotic duty? If our retired business men take this up as they do golf, they will not have lived in vain. Then again, the Vice-President will always see you, when nobody else would. As soon as you are quite alone with him, which will be at once, say: “Well, old top, I'm leaving you “So soon?” he will reply. “Yes. Iam going away. I am go ing back to tell the great American people just what you have said.” “But I haven't said a thing.” “Precisely,” you will then reply. “And they will be so delighted to hear it.” T. L.
