Judge — September 18, 1909 — page 16: what you’re looking at
What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising, not satire or political commentary**. It features a full-page advertisement for "Gold Medal Flour" by the Washburn-Crosby Company (Minneapolis, Minnesota). The ad shows a flour sack with the Gold Medal Flour branding and uses the slogan "Why Not Now?" to encourage consumers to purchase the product. The word "Eventually" appears at the top in cursive script, suggesting the advertisement's logic: if you'll buy this flour eventually, why delay? This is a straightforward commercial advertisement rather than political or social satire. The Judge magazine apparently sold advertising space to flour manufacturers alongside its editorial cartoons and satirical content.
