What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising with brief humorous anecdotes**, rather than political satire. The main cartoons/jokes are: 1. **"Couldn't Kill Wholesale"** — A dark joke about a Salem physician who wanted to be a soldier but became a doctor instead. The punchline plays on "wholesale" vs. "retail" killing, contrasting soldiers' mass casualties with doctors' individual patient deaths. 2. **"Quite Proficient"** — A domestic comedy where a young boy catches his Aunt Margaret and Mr. Brown in a compromising position. They claim to be rehearsing a play where Brown "holds the queen." The boy's innocent reply—that he heard Uncle Jack say Brown "held four queens last night"—implies Brown is a card cheater, suggesting the adults' story is obviously false. The page is otherwise dominated by **product advertisements** for champagne, soap, pianos, whiskey, and Atlantic City hotels—typical of Judge's commercial model.
