Cracker Jack Riddles
Cracker Jack Riddle cards like this one were issued in sets of twenty in 1906. They included well-worn humorous riddles that circulated widely in books and newspapers at the time. A book of Conundrums, Riddles, and Puzzles by Dean Rivers that appeared in 1903, for instance, contained all the riddles on this card and probably most or all of the ones on the other nineteen cards.
Cracker Jack
It is not often one can find
A candy good for body and mind,
But our old doctor says it's true
That "Cracker Jack" is good for you.
This famous confection is manufactured from choice, wholesome materials and blended together in a scientific manner. Cracker Jack is a combination of candy, popcorn, and peanuts, and it is very nutritious as well as palatable. It is more easily digested and assimilated than richly made candies. It is good alike for young and old.
The more you eat
The more you want.
Manufactured by Rueckheim Bros. & Eckstein, Chicago, U.S.A.

"Cracker Jack" Riddles
What relation is a door mat to a door step? A step farther.
What is the difference between one yard and two yards? A fence.
How do we know that Noah had a pig in the ark? Because he had Ham.
When is money damp? When it is due in the morning and missed at night.
What is the cheapest way to buy a fiddle? Buy a little medicine and get a vial in?
How may book-keeping be taught in a lesson of three words? Never lend them.
Why are records brittle things? Because they cannot be lowered without breaking.
When did George Washington first take a carriage? When he took a hack at the cherry tree.
What is the difference between forms and ceremonies? You sit upon one and stand on the other.
Why do girls kiss each other and men not? Because girls have nothing better to kiss, and men have.
Why were the brokers in the panic of 1873 like Pharaoh's daughter? They saved a little prophet from the rushes on the banks.
