What you’re looking at

This page is **primarily advertising**, not editorial or satirical content. It consists almost entirely of railroad and steamship timetables and schedules from late 19th-century California companies, including: - Southern Pacific Company (multiple divisions) - Pacific Coast Steamship Company - S.F. & North Pacific R.R. - Oceanic Steamship Co. - Occidental and Oriental Steamship Company - Pacific Mail Steamship Co. There are small advertisements for services like "The Boss" (Pacific Saw Manufacturing Co.) at the bottom. **No political cartoons or satirical commentary appear on this page.** The Wasp masthead is visible at the top, but this is a standard commercial directory page listing transportation schedules and routes between California cities and international ports.
