Judge — October 11, 1902 — page 12: what you’re looking at
What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertisements and filler content** with one cartoon. The main illustrated piece shows a gentleman instructing his newly promoted bodyguard, James, to retrieve cigars from his study desk. James's clever deduction that the "something in the third drawer" must be cigars—rather than asking what item—is the joke's punchline. It's mild workplace humor playing on the assumption that a wealthy man's study drawer naturally contains cigars. The page is dominated by **period advertisements**: Dr. Siegert's Angostura Bitters, Mennen's toilet powder, medical treatments for venereal diseases, Wilson Whiskey, a life insurance summer school, sewing patterns, the Mosler Safe Company, and bound volumes of Judge magazine itself. Several short **satirical quotes** appear (about Galileo, work, actors playing villains) reflecting Judge's typical editorial voice—genteel social commentary on American manners and pretension. The content reflects **early 1900s concerns**: men's grooming products, insurance innovation, medical advertising (including treatments now considered quackery), and workplace propriety.
