Good Ol’ Days: Cartoons Magazine Centennial, June 1912, Part 12
For today, a potpourri from the June 1912 edition of Cartoons Magazine, on the wonders of our modern age! (Minus, roughly, a century…)
Above, by John T. McCutcheon, The New Neighbors, having their belongings transported by a modern moving van with spoke-wheeled tires, rather than the traditional horse-and-wagon. Note also, the very latest in musical players!
Below, by Jay Norwood “Ding” Darling, a comparison of the antiquated method of keeping one’s foodstuff cool, versus the modern convenience of today’s icebox, whereby you keep your food in a wooden cabinet, “powered” by placing a large block of ice inside it daily…

Above, the joys of Going Green, with everyone having their own backyard food garden, by Ole May, Frank Michael Spangler, Frederick Townsend, and more.
Beneath, Fontaine Fox, William Charles Morris, and a couple other civic-minded cartoonists, encouraging the latest techniques for fighting epidemics and disease! Of course, we all know that the other side regards this as socialist government control of our lives — dictating to us all what to do with the flies that God Himself has blessed us with!
