...satire. A flurry of freak issues was the result. Included among these in the display are a yellow "Radcliffe Suffragette", the "Harvard Lowlife", a green "Harvard Prohibitionist", and a copy of the "Brewers Gazette" and the "Anarchist".

Senator Harrison, for instance, can be counted on for a new tax measure shortly after he predicts that no new taxes will be needed. Governor Eccles will go out and create huge bank deposits and excess reserves and then have the temerity to issue...
...with having been the first in the trade to go in for national advertising (1897), first to adopt an "all-wool" policy (1900), first to abolish contract homework (1910), first to sign a collective bargaining agreement (1911), first with the camel's hair coat (1912), first to guarantee color-fastness (1915). Stressed particularly last week was the company's 26 years of industrial peace since it started to deal with Sidney Hillman's Amalgamated Clothing Workers, potent supporter of John L. Lewis's C. I.
