What you’re looking at

This page contains two distinct elements: **Left side:** A humorous short story titled "Why Sea Captains Are Called Skippers" (continued from an earlier page). The narrative follows a sea captain named Eric who attempts magic tricks to entertain his crew using eggs. When thousands of chicks inexplicably hatch during a voyage, the captain struggles to manage them. The story culminates in a pun: Eric successfully sells the chickens and spoiled eggs in New York, leading his father to declare "you're a true Skipper"—playing on the double meaning of "skipper" (ship captain) and the eggs that "skipped" or hatched unexpectedly. **Right side:** A full-page advertisement for Fougére Royale men's grooming products (shaving lotion, cream, and aftershave). The ad uses dramatic before-and-after photos and hyperbolic language claiming the lotion removes "ten years off your appearance in ten seconds." It emphasizes masculine benefits like soothing, healing nicks, and anti-irritant properties. The page is primarily advertising-driven, with the story serving as editorial filler.
