This is the title/masthead page of **Captain Billy's Whiz Bang**, a monthly satirical magazine published from rural Minnesota in May 1921. The page contains no cartoons—it's purely publication information. The magazine, edited by W.H. Fawcett, styled itself as "America's Magazine of Wit, Humor and Filosophy" [sic]. Priced at 25 cents per issue or $2.50 annually, it was entered as second-class mail. The decorative lace ornament is typical of 1920s magazine design. This post-WWI publication represents grass-roots American humor journalism, distributed via rural mail routes from small-town Minnesota.
