What you’re looking at

This page is primarily a **Palmolive Shaving Cream advertisement** with minimal satirical content. The main image shows a man holding a map of the United States filled with tiny faces, illustrating the product's claimed popularity ("We've Won Millions"). The only comic elements are two cartoons on the right side depicting Western/frontier scenes. The first shows cowboys with caption questioning the legality of carrying a six-shooter in town. The second shows a similar scene with the punchline "Well, there ain't nothin' about leadin' one, is there?"—a play on words exploiting the ambiguity of "leading" (guiding a horse vs. shooting bullets). These comics are generic Western humor unrelated to the advertisement, typical filler content for period magazines.

And the wonderful Imperial Valley, where the Japanese raise the most wonderful head lettuce you ever saw, my dear. It was wonderful to stand there and think of how California with its head lettuce and Canada with its Thousand Island dressing join hands in salad. And Santa Barbara, with the most wonderful grocery store you ever saw; just the place for a woman on a vaca- tion to have a real good time.
