What you’re looking at

This page combines book reviews with period advertising. The left side features **Practicoat knitting mills advertisements** promoting an affordable ($5) versatile jacket for men and boys. The bulk of the page lists contemporary book reviews from the 1920s, including works by Emily Post, Romain Rolland, and DuBose Heyward's *Porgy*—notably described as exploring "the soul of the uneducated American Negro." The tone reflects era-typical attitudes toward literature and race. The right side contains a **Pebeco toothpaste advertisement** with the headline "NO DECAY—SAFE" when salivary glands flow freely. This represents vintage dental marketing claiming scientific backing for saliva's protective properties—a common advertising claim of the period before modern fluoride dentistry. No political cartoons appear on this page. It's primarily a literary review section mixed with period consumer advertising typical of Life magazine's format during the 1920s.

BLL. | Behind your gleaming i teeth -- NO DECAY — | SAFE -+ when the salivary glands flow freely CAY often hides behind the whitest teeth—behind the most charming smile.

With regular daily use Pebeco entirely restores the normal, protective flow of your glands, neutralizing the acids of decay as fast as they form Do not let your teeth deteriorate.
