Karl Kae Knecht Cartoon

Description: A home builders show is taking place inside Roberts Stadium. An entire house and other exhibits are set up on the stadiums floor, while other booths and exhibits are set up on the shelf, a level area between two tiers of seating. Poster advertising the Philharmonic Orchestras upcoming season. The Weather Man, a bearded man wearing a top hat with a weathervane on it, holds up a sign saying that fall will arrive September 23rd. A man looks at the sign and says he thought fall always started on the 21st of the month. A man holds up a poster showing the latest extreme styles from Paris. The poster shows women posing in dresses which are odd-looking and impractical. The man faces the reader and asks them not to tell him they would wear those dresses. Knechts elephant reminds everyone to wear a forget-me-not to support disabled American veterans.
