What you’re looking at
This page presents a satirical contrast between two lifestyle options. The left image shows **Claire Windsor**, a silent-film actress, reclining luxuriously among fruit—representing leisure, glamour, and sensual pleasure. The caption sarcastically notes she's "one of Gus's favorites," implying wealthy patronage. The right image depicts four farm workers in cramped, unglamorous conditions—representing labor and agricultural toil. The satire mocks the stark class divide of the era: wealth and beauty versus manual work and drudgery. The knowing wink about "garter" visibility and "count their feet" suggests crude humor about the farm workers' undignified positioning. *Whiz Bang* was a humor magazine mixing agricultural content with irreverent social commentary, targeting rural audiences while poking fun at both rural life and urban glamour.

Which Is Your Choice? Claire Windsor FORTUNE never poured a more delectable offer- ing from her horn than Claire Windsor of the screen shown reclining in its bell among fruit almost as luscious as she.
