What you’re looking at
This page mixes satirical quotes, short jokes, and advertisements typical of early 20th-century Judge magazine. **The main feature** is a Bell Telephone Company advertisement titled "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde At the Telephone." The ad features two contrasting photographs of men—one composed, one agitated—to illustrate courteous versus discourteous telephone behavior. The lengthy text warns users that telephone operators deserve respect as "personal servants" and that rudeness undermines service efficiency. It's corporate messaging dressed as social commentary, urging callers to maintain face-to-face politeness even when unseen. **The cartoons and brief jokes** scattered throughout satirize contemporary social types: a man buying his way into society (but only renting), a mother unconcerned about damaging a rare book, political factionalism, and a farmer's son in college but nowhere to be found. **Bottom advertisements** promote Naylor's candies as "vacation luxuries." The page reflects early-20th-century concerns about modern technology's social etiquette and consumer behavior.

Dr. J ekyll ara Mr. Hyde At the Telephone Courteous and considerate co- | Operation is as essential at the telephone as in the office or home. In every use of the telephone system, three human factors are brought into action—one at each end, one or both anxious and prob- ably impatient, another at the cen- | tral office, an expert, at least as ‘ intelligent and reliable as the best stenographers or bookkeepers. For the time being, this central office factor is the personal servant of the other two and is entitled to the same consideration that is nat- urally given to their regular em- ployees. Perfect service depends upon the perfect co-ordinate action of all three factors—any one failing, the service suffers. This should never be forgotten. All attempts to entirely eliminate the personal factor at the central office, to make it a machine, have been unsuccessful. There are times when no mechanism, how- ever ingenious, can take the place of human intelligence. The marvelous growth of the Bell System has made the use of the telephone universal and the misuse a matter of public concern. Discourtesy on the part of tele- Phone users is only possible when they fail to realize the efficiency of the service. It will cease when they talk over the telephone as they would talk face to face.
