What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising**, not political satire. The main content consists of multiple product advertisements interspersed with brief humorous anecdotes. The cartoon humor includes: 1. **"Well, said she"** — A joke about vegetarian parents receiving a Noah's Ark toy, with the father worried the child will eat the toy animals. This satirizes extreme vegetarianism as absurdly stringent. 2. **"Struck It"** — A weather bureau comedy where clerks lazily repeat "changeable" weather rather than actually forecasting. 3. **"Nature Study"** — A child's innocent misunderstanding that grass "blades" cut through ground like knife blades. The advertisements dominate: Sohmer Pianos, Evans' Ale, Gillette Razor blades, Herbert D. Shivers' cigars, The Keeley Cure (addiction treatment), and New York Central Lines. These reflect early 20th-century consumer products and social concerns (alcoholism treatment was heavily advertised during Prohibition era discussions). The page reflects Judge's mixed editorial-advertising model rather than sustained satirical commentary.

An Impartial Investigating Committee A prominent cigar manufacturer doubted the quality of the fillers in my cigars, because, he said, they could not be genuine Havana and sold at my price. Three gentlemen well known in the cigar world were recently requested to | examine my factory and books, and they reported over their sig- natures (which are attested by Notary Public) as follows : “We have made a careful inspection of the cigar factory and the tobaccos used by HERBERT D. SHIVERS, INC., and find that in the manufacture of Shivers’ Cigars nothing but absolutely clean, long Havana filler is used.” The report also says: ‘We find that the utmost care is exercised in every particular of their manufacture.” It would be improper to use the names of these gentlemen in an advertisement, but I shall be glad to send to anyone inter- ested a copy of their report in a personal letter. Another gentleman who carefully inspected my factory writes: ‘¢It has a right to stand in the heart of the. great Quaker city, for it is as clean as a Quaker kitchen.” Aword to the smoker of ten-cent cigars. If they are good ten-cent cigars over the counter, the dealer must get $8.00 per hundred for them by the box. I will deliver at your home or office, tzpres prepaid, at $5.00 per hundred, as good a cigar as the dealer sells for $8.00 per hundred. I simply save you all of his expenses and profits. More- over. I will give you a finer cigar for $5.00 per hundred than he gives you for $8.00 unless he specially favors you. Pure Food Laws for Cigars Nothing would please me better than a Pure Food Law applied to the labeling of cigars, compelling manufacturers to state on their packages exacily of what tobaccos their cigars are made. The cut shows the exact size and shape of my Puritano. It is made of long, clean, clear Havana filler, and carefully selected Sumatra wrapper. ‘These cigars are hand made by the best class of cigar makers. The to- bacco is cased (moistened) with clean cold water. All clippings and sweep- ings are barrelled—and sold, and probably used by other cigar manufacturers. Lallow no doctoring of my tobaccos ; the flavor is just what Nature provides. There is no chemical irritation in my goods. My sales indicate that the demand for pure cigars, minus the dealers’ charges, is rapidly growing. My Panatela trade is perhaps the largest in America, but many smokers do not wish Panatelas. My Puritano is of equal quality and is for that larger class of smokers who prefer a “shaped” cigar. MY OFFER IS: 1 will, upon request, send one hundred ‘— Shivers’ Puritanos on approval, express prepaid, to a reader of Judge. may smoke ten cigars and return the remaining ninety at my expense, and Qo 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 use business letterhead, inclose business card or give references. Conspicuuusly displayed in my office is a card which says: “Visitors are invited to go through the factory,” and it means just what it says. We are only too glad to have customers and prospective customers see the cigars made. HERBERT D.
