What you’re looking at
This page from *Judge* contains three distinct elements: **"Tactful" Comic Strip**: A humorous dialogue about marital dispute resolution. A husband describes causing domestic trouble (neglecting the cat, misplacing the door key, upsetting his wife), then reveals his solution: buy the wife a new hat. The satire mocks both male tactlessness and the era's assumption that women's discontent could be cheaply purchased with fashion—a commentary on shallow domestic relations and consumerism. **Remington Typewriter Advertisement**: Promotes the Model 10's "Column Selector" feature, targeting female typists by emphasizing labor-saving convenience. The ad reflects early-20th-century office work where women dominated typing positions. **20th Century Limited Railroad Advertisement**: Promotes fast rail service between New York and Chicago via the New York Central Lines, emphasizing time-saving for business travelers. The page demonstrates *Judge's* mix of social satire, targeted advertising to middle-class readers, and the era's gender assumptions about women, consumption, and work.

Why Inch along like an old inchworm with that antiquated hand spacing of the type writer carriage when you can go right to the spot with a single touch on a Column Selector key of the mode! 10 - Remington The Remington Column Selector is the great- est of all recent typewriter improvements. It enables the operator instantly to place the carriage where she wills, skipping as many columns as she wills. By eliminating the hand spacing of the carriage it saves from ten to twenty per cent. of labor according to the work to be done.
