Something Wicked This Way Comes
Not sure what sort of strange goings on are going on here in this 1907 ad for Hart Schaffner & Marx Good Clothes Makers, but the young lad looks less than pleased to be carving the Jack O'Lantern for the stern and sharp-dressed man. But you gotta love a company that lays it out so plainly: Good Clothes Makers.Copy reads: Three great campaigns going on- Politics, fun, clothes. You'll be right in clothes, if our name's in them.
Man, I don't get it.
I know many of you are holding back on sick captions.

The man is obviously a politician. The kid is obviously having fun. They are both obviously wearing clothes. Three great campaigns! If the man weren't a politician, he wouldn't be around such a young strapping lad. If the boy weren't having fun, he wouldn't be around the cunning politician. If they weren't wearing any clothes, well...

thinking in vain,
behind the tree it appears that someone is jack-o-lanterning off.
