What you’re looking at
This is primarily an **advertising page** from an early 20th-century Judge magazine, dominated by cigar and consumer product ads rather than political satire. The small comic content consists of two **brief joke pieces**: 1. **"A wooden woman"** — A pun-based joke where one man claims to know a woman "turned into wood" after being placed "a-board" (aboard a ship). His friend counters with a man who "picked up a wheel and spoke" in a bicycle shop. These are wordplay jokes exploiting double meanings rather than social commentary. 2. **"Looking Ahead"** — A young woman inquires about clergy discounts at a stationer's shop. When asked if she's a clergyman's wife or daughter, she reveals she expects to become one when her boyfriend "comes home from college this term." This gently mocks courtship expectations and presumed futures. The page otherwise features extensive cigar manufacturer advertisements (Shivers Panatellas, Murad Cigarettes) and business offers typical of the era's Judge magazine format—mixing light humor with commercial content aimed at male readers.
