What you’re looking at

This page features a humorous anecdote about a farmer who unwittingly undermines his own negotiating position. The story, reprinted from the Sioux City Journal, describes a Correctionville farmer selling a load of corn. The buyer deliberately weighs the wagon before and after unloading to determine the corn's actual weight. The farmer, realizing he's been outmaneuvered by the buyer's clever scheme, acknowledges he has "sold himself"—meaning he's been bested in the deal through his own lack of shrewdness. The piece satirizes rural farmers' business naiveté against urban or more cunning merchants. The accompanying anecdotes below mock similar lapses in judgment across different social situations, suggesting a broader American theme about being fooled by one's own carelessness or ignorance. The page is primarily filled with period advertisements for writing inks, patent medicines, and pianos—typical Judge magazine content from the late 19th century.
