What you’re looking at

This page contains three distinct sections: **Left Side - "Mum" Deodorant Advertisement:** A vintage ad targeting women, promoting "Mum" deodorant cream as essential to feminine appeal and "daintiness." The gendered messaging—that men admire women who guard against body odors—reflects early 20th-century marketing that weaponized insecurity around natural bodily functions to sell products. **Center - Literary/Humor Columns:** "Motes from a Motor" contains three brief, cynical poems about 1920s life: enjoying others' misfortune, police surveillance, and careless driving. "Professor Blotter Spends the Summer" is a satirical piece mocking both a fictional professor's absurd scientific pursuits (breeding mosquitoes with legs, crossing poison ivy with thorns) and tourists' obsessive behavior photographing hotel rooms. **Right Side - Miscellaneous Ads and Book List:** A "Razor-Nife" pocket knife advertisement and a lengthy list of recently published books across various genres. The page is primarily **commercial and literary**, not political satire.

Professor Blotter Spends the Summer Proressor Buotter, whose search for a vest pocket big enough to hold a vest-pocket kodak brought him national attention, has returned from a profit- able month in the country. As usual, the Professor gave his efforts to relieving suffering among the summer colonies. His achievement is well known of the hybrid mosquito with spikes on its feet so that it could scratch the bite after it finished sting- ing ; but little credit so far has attached to his efforts to eliminate the poison- ivy menace by crossing the plant with something that has either thorns or a bad smell. The Professor is patient. During the summer, the Professor said, he was also interested to observe hotel guests buying postal cards of their hotels, and then spending hours on their stomachs trying to locate their windows so that they could mark them with an *, The kind-hearted scien- ¢ “ White bread, cured meats, plain ete.. are oDnte. reed.
