Captain Billy's Whiz Bang #35 — page 2: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily an advertisement, not a satirical cartoon. It announces the 1922 opening of Breezy Point Lodge in Pequot, Minnesota, run by "Captain Billy" (the magazine's editor). The ad promotes the lodge as a nature retreat with pine trees and a sandy beach, targeting city dwellers seeking a northern woods vacation. Below is a subscription coupon for Whiz Bang magazine itself ($2.50 yearly), described as offering "Farmyard Philosophy and Foolishness." The contact address is listed as R.R. 2, Robbinsdale, Minnesota. This appears to be self-promotion—the magazine's editor advertising his own vacation business to his readership.
