The Wasp — 1888 — page 123: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertisements and directory listings** rather than satire or political cartoons. The left column contains San Diego real estate and business ads (Hanbury & Garvey, Coronado Land Office, etc.). The center contains an anecdote titled "Why He Threw Stones at the Church" — a humorous story about a man confronting a preacher over romantic/marital advice, culminating in him throwing stones through a church window. The right side lists San Francisco hotels and services, including the Hotel Arcadia in Santa Monica. There is one small advertisement featuring "Standard Chamberlain Shotgun Cartridges" with a product image. The page represents **late 19th-century magazine filler**: mostly commercial content with occasional humor pieces, rather than political satire.
