W.E. (William Ely) Hill (1887-1962) was known for his masterful black and white Sunday page, “Among Us Mortals,” sometimes referred to as the Hill Page. Please see the Gallery description for more about Hill.

From this November 9, 1952 edition, titled “Traffic Cop’s Headaches” some quotes:

“Pathetic stuff. She’s working on Officer Duffy with all the old sob technique. If she’d seen the hydrant she wouldn’t have dreamed of parking there. Feels just awful about it, etc., etc.”

“This boy thinks he knows all the answers. When stopped for speeding, he’s ready to peel off a couple of bills, but it’s no go. He gets a ticket.”
