What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and directory content** for San Francisco businesses, with a small satirical comic strip titled "HE GOT HIS MONEY'S WORTH" on the left side. The comic depicts a dialogue between two men discussing rough skin treatment. One claims roughness can be cured by "stimulating the skin" with some product, while the other skeptically agrees to try it. The final panel suggests the "treatment" backfires or proves ineffective—a typical satirical jab at dubious patent medicine or cosmetic products popular in the era. The page also advertises Ely's Cream Balm for catarrh, perfume, and cemetery services, reflecting common turn-of-century commerce.
