What you’re looking at
This page from Judge magazine (circa 1901-1906, based on advertisements) contains several short humorous dialogues rather than political cartoons. The jokes satirize everyday American life: **"A Climber"** depicts class anxiety: a working-class boy attempts to impress a girl by claiming to have climbed a tree, but she dismisses him as her "social equal"—mocking both working-class pretensions and upper-class snobbery. Other dialogues joke about mundane domestic situations: a wife coldly greeting her soldier husband home from the Philippines, a quarrelsome couple disagreeing about apartment temperature, and men exchanging hollow political pleasantries. The cartoons are primarily **social satire** targeting middle-class anxieties about status, marriage, and modernity—typical Judge fare. The page is dominated by **advertisements** (pianos, cigars, restaurants, rugs, whiskey), reflecting the magazine's revenue model. There are no identifiable political figures or references to specific events.

Washington Post The Twentieth Century Limited train is so much of a flyer that traveling on it has been justly called flying. Time flies and money flies; and the man who allows his time to fly on the Twentieth Cen- tury Limited makes enough by the opera- tion to have money not only to fly but to burn.

In fact, it is all wings, and, as time is money, the traveler plying between Chicago and New York can save so much time by taking this train that he can feel his bank act count increase with cach and every revo- lution of each and every wheel. Any man of ordinary discrimination would prefer the Twentieth Century Limited to the empyrean sausage known as an air- ship, for th on that, like the Empire State express, it is faster, much more luxurious in appointment, and is simply a gliding hammock swinging between New York and Chicago."

To Those Interested in Pianos A piano investment is not an investment of a day, month or year. The money paid for a piano should represent the enjoyment of more than one century of ownership. THE KNABE costs more in the first instance than most pianos, but IN THE LONG RUN it proves to be not alone the most satisfactory instru- ment, but the least expensive compared with any piano. We will be glad to tell you why. WM. KNABE @ CO. Baltimore. New YorK. Washington. comicbooks.com
