What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising** interspersed with light humor and verse, typical of Judge magazine's format. The main satirical content includes: **"The Tourist"** poem mocks American tourists of the era—their obsession with souvenirs (kodaks/postcards), standardized travel experiences, eating sandwiches everywhere, and treating sightseeing as mere consumption rather than genuine experience. This reflects growing anxiety about mass tourism and American cultural behavior abroad. **"The Answer"** is a rural dialect joke where an Alabama farmer's wife must literally define "native" (born there vs. living there) to her confused husband—poking fun at Southern rural ignorance. **"Kokomo and Terre Haute"** is a playful poem about pronunciation confusion in Indiana town names. The page is dominated by period **advertisements**: Lucky Strike tobacco, Sohmer pianos, paper warehouse, Cortez cigars, and prominently, "Sunny Brook Whiskey" (featuring a capitol building), plus a book offer for house plans. The small photograph and caption "I Won't Come Out Till You Go 'Way" appears to be unrelated editorial cartoon content about dating/courting anxieties.

THE TOURIST. Who fills the summer time with glee? The tourist. Who peoples trails on land and sea? The tourist. Who starts, with tooth-brush and a comb, To Italy or maybe Nome? Who never leaves his kodak home ? The same chap. Who wears field glasses on his hip ? The tourist. Who likes a white suit for a trip? The tourist. Who from the sandwich can’t be weaned?

The Sohmer can rest upon its merits, and win every time THE ANSWER. While visiting the south recently a trav- cler chanced upon a resident of a sleepy hamlet in Alabama. “ Are you a native of this town?” asked the traveler. «Am [what ?” languidly asked the one addressed, « Are you a native of the town ?” * What's that 2?” “I asked you whether you were a na- tive of the place ?” At this juncture there appeared at the open door of the cabin the man’s wife— tall, sallow and gaunt. After a careful survey of the questioner, she said, “Ain't yo’ got no sense, Bill? He means was yo’ livin’ heah when yo’ was born, or was yo’ born befoah yo’ begun livin’ heah, Now answer him."—Success. FINANCIAL.
