20th Century Bomb: 1906RISE AND SHINE, AMERICAYonder in Battle Creek lives a man named
Will Keith Kellogg. And in this town he sells boxes of a new health food he recently invented. They are called
Kellogg’s Corn Flakes.
Tis a large thin crisp flake of toasted corn—a supposedly healthy, tasty breakfast food eaten in a bowl awash with milk.
A.) Breakfast? Bah, that’s for women.
B.) Kellogg is insane. They are for vegetarians, the weird cult that doesn’t eat meat.
C.) Corn on its cob with butter and salt is best.

Alva J. Fisher of Chicago has taken a galvanized tub and added a motor powered by electricity to create an “electronic washing machine.” Just add water, soap, and clothes to the gizmo and voila! Your garments are clean!
A.) American women aren’t lazy enough—now this.
B.) Letter A is right! Watch; women will want the right to vote next!
C.) Beating clothes on rocks and rinsing them in the river is best.
20th Century Bomb: 1909LIKE SCREAMING
THROUGH A MEGAPHONE!Our mayor, the honorable
Cass Corridor, has been seen sporting around town in a brand new black
Ford Model T Roadster passing a flask back and forth with actress
Minnie Woodward.
We sure hope that
Mrs. Corridor don't catch wind of the indiscretion. Mugs that saw hizzoner and the floozy at an out-of-the-way dive claim Miss Woodward wore a dress so short her ankles was showing.
A.) I’m an ankle man. I like 'em smooth and shaved.
B.) To he** with Mayor Corridor--I shall vote for Warren Forest.
C.) A flapper and liquor in a new Model T? Mayor Corridor governs his penis well.
