What you’re looking at
This page mixes satirical content with advertising. The main cartoon, "The Accommodating Dead One," shows a domestic dispute where a wife criticizes her husband by favorably comparing him to her deceased first husband. The satire targets marital discord and selective memory—the wife conveniently forgets her first husband's faults now that he's dead, using his memory as a weapon against her living spouse. This reflects early 20th-century humor about marriage dynamics and female domesticity. The "Foreign Importations" section quotes from British publications (London Gazette, Punch, Opinion) offering cynical observations about human nature—dependency, hypocrisy, and marriage—typical of Judge's imported philosophy humor. The page is otherwise dominated by advertisements: Blatz Beer emphasizes quality and consistency, while the Oliver Typewriter Company's large recruitment ad seeks 10,000 salesmen, promising free training and advancement opportunities. These ads reflect the era's industrial expansion and sales-driven business culture.

This organization, great as it is, cannot cope with the vast expansion of our business and the ever-increasing demand for Olivers. We want 10,000 more men—everywhere—as Local Agents for the Oliver Typewriter. The innumerable requests for interviews and demonstrations from the smaller towns prove that no village or hamlet is too small to afford a splen- did field for the work of an Oliver Agent. Wherever you are, you can become a Local Agent for the Oliver Type- writer regardless of other employment. And just as soon as your sales justify, you can enter the ranks as a regular representative. No business worth having can be started with so small an initial investment. None offers a wider field for profitable endeavor than this which is calling you now. A LIBERAL EDUCATION IN SALESMANSHIP ABSOLUTELY FREE OF COST The Oliver Sales Organization is made up of exceptional, highly trained men. We pick out men who have the material for the making of capable |salesmen, After their appointment as Local Agents, we train these men, at our own expense, in The Oliver School of Practical Salesmanship. | This school has become famous for the men who have graduated to greatness in Salesmanship. There is not, in all the world, its counterpart. It gives first-hand, man-to-man instruction, direct from past masters in Salesmanship. We demand of each of our men the very best that isin him. This means, to us, more than mere business-getting. It means the development of well- | rounded character which makes hima man among men. For our salesmen are our ambassadors, bearing the Oliver banner to the very ends of the earth. Men who can measure up to this opportunity are assured of permanent jemployment. No limits are set to their earnings. Advancement in the serv- ice is the reward of proven ability. Let this be a challenge to the young man who asks “opportunity.” This is not a “snap.” It means a real rough-and-tumble with hard work. It lrequires courage, ambition, enthusiasm, loyalty. But it will give you a firm foot-hold on the Ladder of Salesmanship, up which you may climb to the top. |The Oliver Typewriter Company 109 Oliver Typewriter Bidg. CHICAGO, ILL. .
