What you’re looking at
This is primarily an **advertising page** from Judge magazine, circa 1907, interspersed with brief humorous items and jokes. The cartoons and jokes are minor—mostly one-liners playing on wordplay and contemporary situations: a joke about wall-paper hangers, puns about "financing" (in the financial sense), and a comparison between Lake Erie's roughness and Cleveland pavements (presumably rough from poor maintenance). The page is dominated by **advertisements**: John Jameson whiskey, Hunter Baltimore Rye (featuring a man on horseback), Abbott's Bitters (a patent medicine), and Sohmer pianos. A substantial section promotes Allen's Foot-Ease powder, comparing genuine advertised products favorably to imitations. The largest advertisement offers a free 1907 architect's book of house plans—described as "the most liberal offer ever made by a publishing company." **No significant political satire or caricature is present.** This is a commercial page reflecting early-20th-century advertising practices, when magazines like Judge relied heavily on paid advertisements alongside editorial content.

Twelve years ago few people in the world knew of such a preparation as a Powder for the Feet. To-day, after the genuine merit of Al- en's Foot-Ease has been told year after year by one gratified person to another there are mil- lions who would as soon go without a dentifrice as without Allen's Foot-Ease. It is a cleanly, wholesome, healing, antiseptic powder, to be shaken into the shoes, which has given rest and comfort to tired and aching feet in all parts of the world. It cures while you walk. Over 30,000 testimonials of cures of smarting, swol- len, perspiring feet. It prevents friction and wear of the stockings and will save in your stocking bill ten times its-cost each year. Imi- tations pay the dealer a larger profit, otherwise, you would never be offered a substitute when you ask for Allen's Foot-Ease, the original powder for the feet. Imitations are not adver- tised because they are not permanent. For levery genuine article there are many imitations. The imitator has no reputation to sustain—the advertiser has. It stands to reason that the advertised article is the best, otherwise the public would not buy it and’ the advertising could not be continued. When you ask for an SOHMER & COMPANY, New York.

We have for sale « Tt can't be done.” “ You can't do it.” “It won't come out that way.” | These words have a familiar sound to | every progressive business man as he meets them every day. During a recent week I re- ceived and filled nine hundred and seventy-cight orders for cigars, all from individual smokers. To fill these orders required one hundred. and thirty-three thousand eight hundred cigars. Of these orders eight hundred and six. ty-seven were repeat orders, that is, orders from men who had previously bought cigars from me; and of the one hundred and eleven orders from new customers twenty- six were recommended by my old customers. So, you see, I am “doing it.” The reason I am “doing it” is because I send cigars much better than my customers expect to re- ceive, MY OFFER 1S :—! will, upon request, send one hundred Shivers’ Panatela Cigars on approval to any responsible man, express prepaid. He may smoke ten cogars and return the re- maining ninety at my ex- pense, and no charge for the ten smoked, if he Is not pleased with them; if he is pleased, and keeps them, he agrees to remit the price, $5.00, within ten days. In ordering please enclose business card or give per- sonal references, and state whether mild, medium or strong cigars are desired. I manufacture these cigars literally by the million, and sell them individual smoker, by the hundred, at wholes sale prices. The fillers are long, clean, clear Havana of good quality. The wrappers are genuine Sumatra. ‘They are hand made, They are the ten cent quality of the dealers, and could not be sold through the usual ch nels to the trade under $50.00 per thous. The only reason that I can sell them at per hundred is repeat orders—it is because the selling cost is practically eliminated I manufacture other cigars than my |’ana- tela. If, for any reason, you think that a Panatela wouldn't suit you, and you are open to conviction, let me send you my catalogues. HERBERT D. SHIVERS, 939 Filbert Street, Philadelphia, Pa.
