What you’re looking at

This page is **primarily advertisements** with one central cartoon. The main illustration depicts a cherub or putto figure labeled "Puck" riding what appears to be a pig or similar creature, promoting cigars and tobacco products. The page contains mostly commercial ads for luxury goods—champagne (G. Humm & Co.), bitters, cigars (Puck brand), silk dress fabric, sparkling waters, and tailoring services. One text section humorously discusses acquiring a "corner lot" in Jerusalem near the pyramids, seemingly satirizing speculation and business schemes. The cartoon itself functions mainly as a brand mascot rather than political commentary. The overall page reflects **late 19th-century American commercial culture** more than satirical content.

PUCK. A younc lady, in town, well connected In her talk was very affected, For neither she always said nither; And one day at the dentist's, Before her tooth was ejected, She said she believed she take “ ither.”” — Wheeling Leader, Mrs. A.—‘‘ Somebody's in the next room, I wonder what they're doing.” [Looking wist- fully at the keyhole.) ‘I’ve a good mind to ek.” Mrs. B.—“Oh, I wouldn’t; ’tisn’t right.” Mrs. A.—‘‘I don’t care; I’m just dying to know.” [Puts eye to keyhole, but immediately takes it away, disconcerted.] ‘Hm! the key isin.” Mrs. B.—‘ Yes; so I found before you came in." —Boston Transcript. Do you know who got up the first corner in breadstuffs ? No? Well, it was that good young man Joseph and his bad old master Pharaoh, the younger member of the firm furnishing the points and the senior partner the stamps. ‘The two monopolists gathered in the wheat for seven years, then bulled the market and gathered in the substance of the hungry people for another seven years, till finally that eminent and highly respectable firm of produce brokers owned about everything that was worth owning in the land of Egypt. Joseph was appointed “ ruler of the king’s navee,” sent for “hiss. and his c. and his a.,” and, the facts of history compel us to state, lived long and prospered. A change in the Administration, however, made it rather hot for Joseph’s descendants, and, as you may recollect, they emigrated after a somewhat heated discussion with the new Pharaoh Boston Transcript. SBOZODONT. To preserve the teeth and keep them pure and white, to prevent their decay, there is no preparation in the ‘market equal to SOZODONT. To preserve the gums in a natur- ally hard and healthy condition, there is 20 superior to SOZO- DONT. To purify and sweeten the breath there is no rival to SOZODONT. For a perfect mouth there is no recipe like the use of SOZODONT. Consequently it is no wonder that the populanty of SOZUDONT as a dentifrice has no bounds. All Druggists G. H.
