What you’re looking at
This is primarily an **advertising page** from Judge's 26th Christmas issue (dated December 22), with one small cartoon. ## The Cartoon The single cartoon depicts a social/technological shift: a woman addresses a man as "my good man," assuming he's a stable worker ("Will you stand by the pony?"). He corrects her—he's a "motor-minder," not a horse handler. The joke satirizes the rapid obsolescence of horse-drawn transport due to automobiles, and the comedic mismatch between old-fashioned assumptions and modern reality. Attribution to "Punch" suggests cross-publication humor. ## The Advertisements The page features typical early-1900s products: John Jameson whiskey, life insurance (Penn Mutual), hair tonic, collars, and coal delivery. These ads reflect contemporary consumer goods and concerns (life insurance as family protection, hair care as status). The prominent announcement promotes Judge's Christmas issue, highlighting contributors like James Montgomery Flagg and assuring readers of color illustrations and humor pieces—standard magazine marketing for the holiday season.

The cover is the work of JAMES MONT- GOMERY FLAGG~one of his clevere% and most fetching desigrs. There will be upward of sixteen pages in color, and a laughable double - page Christmas fancy by "Zim." Judge's entife staff of con- tributors have collaborated on the te of the book. Daggy has some quaint things both in color and black- and-white. Taylor and Sarka and all the old Judge favorites are there. Then there is FLAGG'S NERVY NAT—what kind of a Christmas would it be without Nervy? And Flagg has some funny things i in black- and-white also. @ As for writers—they are all in the Christmas Judge—all the real funny fellows. There is Gillilan, Nesbit, Ellis Parker Butler, Kiser, Lampton, Pitzer, John Kendrick Bangs, and many more ; and Judge himself will try his hand on two or three little things. For instance, Judge will deliver a few opinions from the bench, being his twenty-sixth Christmas address to Christians, heathens, New Yorkers, and editors—not to speak of husbands, wives, and any others who may be present.
