What you’re looking at

This page combines advertising with satirical commentary typical of early 1900s Judge magazine. **"Figs and Thistles"** presents moral aphorisms mocking religious hypocrisy—criticizing those who perform piety without substance ("pray" without "pay," wear Sunday clothes only on Sundays, break up faith to weaponize it against others). **"Nobility in America"** features a cartoon dialogue between an American and a British character. The Britisher sarcastically praises American enterprise, noting they've branded champagne as "Great Western," "Great Eastern," "Northern and Southern"—essentially marketing the same product under multiple regional names. The joke satirizes American commercialism and marketing deception, suggesting Americans will slap any geographic label on products to boost sales. The page otherwise contains insurance company advertising (Prudential) and cigar advertisements, typical of the period's commercial content.

FIGS AND THISTLES. ‘They who deal with the devil must pay his | price. —You cannot purify the tenant by pain! ing the house.—They who never dabble in sin will never drown in it.—Character is the great credential that God gives His children.—We are told to win souls, not to whip them,—Pull- ing both ways makes progress neither.—How can God hear those who will not listen to Him? —They who agonize when they pray do not seem to suffer when they pay.—Not all rever. ent men are wise, but every wise man is rever- ent.—It is a common error to try to plant blossoms instead of seeds.—It adds nothing to the piety of the parrot that it has learned to pray.—Some Christians break up the Rock of Ages to fling the pieces at one another.—Per- haps the reason the preacher is the better man is that he wears his Sunday clothes all the week. —Kam's Horn. It has been generally observed that thor- oughly bad boys are seldom drowned.—Somer- ville Journal, A HALF-MILLION IN CLAIMS PAID. ‘The Prudential Insurance Company of Amer- ica has recently paid its five hundred thousandth claim. ‘The Prodeatial 1s the only life-insur- ance company ‘confining its operations exclu- sively to the United States that can point to such a wonderful record, and it shows what a vast amount of good is being done by that company, particilarly through its system of In- dustrial, or weekly-payment, life insurance. ‘These five hundred thousand claim payments | show a total amount of over $45,000,000 paid by The Prudential on Industrial claims alone, the daily number of payments now averaging over two hundred. The large amount of want and distress prevented and relieved through the just distribution of this vast sum of money ex- plains why Industrial insurance is so popular in America. On policies issued by The Prudential on the Industral plan the premiums are collected weekly at the homes of the policy-holders in sums of five. ten or fifteen cents, and upward, perweek, ‘The Prudential has liberalized its pane | Policies very materially since the organization of the company twenty-five years ago, and in addition has established for itself a very envi- able position in the world of life insurance by arranging for the payment of all just claims immediately upon receipt of proofs of death. Not only is this true, but it has even arranged to pay certain claims by telegraph and others directly through its field representatives; so that, while every precaution is taken by’ the company to protect the interests of existing policy-holders, the money is placed in the hands of the beneficiary at the earliest possible mo- ment. This practically doubles the value of life insurance, particularly among those hold- ing Industrial policies, where there is frequent- ly no other ready money at hand. NOBILITY IN AMERICA. “Well, by Jove! you Americans are blasted enterprising and no mistake, This’ is not only GREAT Western Champagne, but Great Eastern, Northern and Southern. In fact. it is Great anywhere, don't yer know!" y FOR | MEN OF BRAINS IGARS “MADE AT KEY WEST— ‘These Cigars are manufactured under the most favorable climatic conditions and from the mildest blends of Havana to- bacco. “If we had: to pay the imported cigar tax our brands would cost double the money.
