What you’re looking at

This page from Judge magazine consists primarily of **advertising and humor content**, not political satire. The central piece is a poem titled **"Do It Now!"** criticizing the ubiquitous workplace slogan that demands constant urgency and productivity. The author mocks this phrase as it appears "on every floor" in factories, offices, and stores, calling it "most annoying" and "ancient, stale, and canned advice." The satire targets the relentless pressure of early 20th-century industrial culture to work faster and harder. Supporting humorous pieces include: - **Cave-dwellers anecdote**: A joke about Mexican cave-dwellers who have more living space than apartment-dwellers with folding beds - **Social Horticulture**: A clever wordplay list equating farming terms with social behaviors (e.g., "Raking the servants over the coals") - **Power of Words**: A brief joke about how "Yes" ruined someone's life The remainder is **period advertising** for alcoholic beverages (Blatz beer, I.W. Harper whiskey, Sunny Brook whiskey) and Judge's library service—standard for this era.
