What you’re looking at

This page from the satirical magazine *Judge* contains several short jokes and advertisements reflecting early 20th-century American humor. **Key content:** The main cartoon (upper right) depicts a scene where someone appears to be presenting money to a wealthy nobleman, satirizing nouveau riche wealth and excess—the banker needs to *expand his vault* just to store this man's gold. **The humor relies on:** - **Automobiles as new technology**: Multiple jokes mock the automobile craze, including one where a policeman prioritizes arresting a reckless driver over a burglar (since the state profits from fines), and another where a man accustomed to cars forgets how to handle horses. - **Class commentary**: Rural characters misidentify an electric fan as a "squirrel," poking fun at rural unsophistication versus urban modernity. - **Political references**: A Colonel Bryan joke suggests he's been dishonest despite claims otherwise. The page is largely **humorous filler and advertisements**, reflecting *Judge's* mix of satirical commentary on contemporary American life—technological change, class differences, and political figures—aimed at educated, urban readers.

He bought a certain brand of goods. I ashed him why he did not buy some other brand, as there were several on the market just as good.
