What you’re looking at
This page from the satirical magazine **Judge** contains primarily **short humor pieces and advertisements** rather than political cartoons. The main comic content includes brief jokes satirizing domestic life and social pretension: - A husband, reduced to "fifty cents," comments wryly on his wife's excitement over bargain silks - A man's fiancée breaks their engagement after a fortune-teller's prediction—revealed as coming from a "mercantile agency" (credit report), mocking both superstition and financial anxiety - A teacher's joke playing on "squaw" (a derogatory term for Native American women) - A husband's deadpan response to his departing wife: he'll miss her "as much as I do the morning train" These jokes reflect early 20th-century attitudes toward marriage (humorously strained), class consciousness, and casual ethnic stereotyping typical of the era. The page is dominated by **period advertisements**: Whitman's Chocolates, Schlitz Beer (emphasizing yeast purity), Milo cigarettes, and dining guides—standard magazine revenue sources then.
