What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising**, not editorial content or political satire. The main feature is a Hudson's Bay Tobacco advertisement sponsored by Hargraft, depicting a Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer offering pipe tobacco to a man in the woods. The ad's narrative emphasizes the tobacco's quality and appeal to outdoorsmen—specifically mentioning Hudson's Bay tobacco's superior reputation among Canadian sportsmen and its use during long voyages. The "rescue" scenario suggests ruggedness and reliability. The right column contains unrelated domestic advice ("Milk Bottle Tops"), a personal letter about home purchases, and brief entertainment gossip about actress Isadore's marriage. This is a typical Life magazine page from 1928, mixing advertisements with humor columns and advice.

SPONSORED Tie Royal Mounted man gave him a pipeful —how the world’s finest pipe tobacco started to tour the world MAGINE being a constant and fastidious pipe smoker, stranded in the deep Canadian woods without your own favorite tobacco, and your tobacconist thousands of miles away. But the Royal Mounted man—as usual—came to the rescue. He filled the empty pipe—and the empty void—and then. ... —‘the got his man!”—a new enthusiast for this fine old tobacco. Incidents like that sent Hudson’s Bay tobacco on long voy- ages toevery where. Sportsmen traveling deep into Canada found this tobacco so superior to any they had smoked before that they brought back tens of pounds at a time—and then wrote back for more. It tasted as good at their hearthfires as at their campfires— geography made no difference. They took the North Woods home with them— captured in ns mellow brown-gold shreds. But now the bother is over— Hudson’s Bay tobaccos are as near to you as your nearest good tobacconist. They cost a bit more—the best always does —and is always worth it! ‘Badson's Bay Compang. incorrorateo. 27° MAY 1670.

You ask me if I think fifty thou sand is too much to pay for a house. ends. It is too much for if that is what you mean. ril can manage it, I'm sure | it must be all right. In answer to your question about the best place to borrow money for a home venture, I should say a bank. If you can convince a bank cashier that the house is a buy at your price you can be assured it is. Bankers make mistakes but they never over- estimate the value of a piece of real estate, especially if they are to make a loan on it. I appreciate what you say about Cyril’s desire to be independent. I share that desire. In fact, nobody wishes Cyril to be independent more than I. If Cyril ever should be- come independent I should be the first to touch off red fire. Let me know if he ever does.
