What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **text content** rather than political cartoons. The masthead shows *The Wasp* Publishing Company's details, and the main article concerns **the San Francisco Postoffice site selection**—a heated local controversy. The article criticizes real estate speculators and "irresponsible newspaper scribblers" profiting from uncertainty about where the new federal building would be located. It discusses competing proposed sites and argues the selection process has been corrupted by financial interests. The brief items below address local theater advertisements, a school board appointment, and minor legal disputes—typical satirical notices mocking San Francisco civic affairs. No identifiable political caricatures appear on this page.
