What you’re looking at
This page consists primarily of **advertisements** interspersed with brief humorous anecdotes. **The main cartoon** at top shows two hands toasting with the slogan "When you do drink, drink Trimble" whiskey, promoting a brand established in 1793. **The text pieces** are short jokes typical of early 20th-century humor magazines: - "The Final Variations" satirizes changing women's fashion—contrasting modest, feminine styles of "long ago" with contemporary looser-fitting garments that the writer considers unflattering. - "Making a Bluff" jokes about a wife requesting an overdrawn check to display ostentatiously at a bridge game for social appearances. - "The Wrong Calling" plays on the double meaning of "calling" (profession vs. social visiting). - "His Wurst" is a pun on a German delicatessen owner's English-language advertisement. The **remaining advertisements** promote the Holland House hotel in NYC, Challenge brand waterproof collars, and other products—standard commercial content typical of Judge's revenue model.

I want to pull it out of my shop- ping bag with my handkerchief at the bridge game this afternoon.’’—Cleve- land Plain Dealer. Mothers will find Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup the best remedy for their child: 25e, a buitle. The Wrong Calling.—Pa—‘‘I greatly disapprove of that young Smithson, and one particular reason is his lack of in- dustry in his calling.’’ Daughter—‘‘His calling? Why, he calls seven evenings in the week!’’— Cassell’s Saturday Journal. His Wurst.—The German proprietor of a Brooklyn delicatessen store has got far enough along to pun in English.
