What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and filler content**, not political satire. It contains: **Advertisements:** Philip Morris tobacco, Cook's Imperial Extra Dry champagne, Hotel Rudolf (Atlantic City), Commonwealth Hotel (Boston), and Sunny Brook Whiskey dominate the layout. **Editorial Content:** The main feature, "Christmas Gifts for All," promotes Judge magazine's own art prints as holiday gifts—a self-promotional pitch. The accompanying poem "Where Are They?" nostalgically contrasts old-fashioned homemade gifts (mittens, scarves, pipes) with modern materialistic ones (real estate, automobiles, mining stock), gently satirizing contemporary consumer culture and the decline of domestic craft traditions. **Humor Items:** Brief jokes about tailors' pockets and farm management appear as filler. **Context:** This reflects early 20th-century Judge positioning itself as a sophisticated magazine for affluent readers, while advertising luxury goods and promoting its own merchandise to that same audience.

On the Ocean Front. Always Open Offering every appointment for comfort and luxury. Hot and cold sea and fresh water in all baths. American and European plans. A. S. RUKEYSER, JOEL HILLMAN, Manager. President. Christmas Gifts for All. M°RE than ever, it is the fashion this year to use pictures as Christ- mas gifts, because they are beautiful, refined, inexpensive, and lasting. They are a constant reminder of the giver. They are infinitely better than most trifling gewgaws too often given as Christmas gifts and forgotten as soon as received. No handsomer present can be made than one of the JupcE art prints. They range in price from 25 cents to $2. They fit every one. They embrace sentimental, lightly humorous, social, and other subjects. They are illustrated and described in Jupce’s Catalogue of Art Prints. A copy will be sent to any reader on receipt of 10 cents. By remitting 2 cents extra for postage, the sender will receive, with- out further charge, one of the beautiful colored pictures of a Stanlaw’s girl. This, in itself, neatly framed, will make an acceptable Christmas gift. Those who desire original pen-and-ink draw- ings, of which only one copy is in ex- istence, can secure these at from $1 to $5 each. These drawings appeared originally in Jupce, and cost from $10 to $35 each. They embrace a wide range of subjects—sentimental, comic, and domestic. Let us know your pref- erence. Address Picture Department, Leelie- Judge Company, 226 Fifth Avenue, New York City. Where Are They? Where are the gifts of the olden days— The home-made mittens and slippers warm, The worsted mufflers in reds and grays, The ear-tab cap for the wintry storm? Where are the socks and the briarwood pipe, The kerchief wide and the new round comb, The big glass case with the two stuffed snipe, And the gay yarn motto, ‘‘God Bless Our Home’’? . . . . . . It’s a gold mine now or a city block, An aeroplane or a motor car, A brown-stone front or some mining stock— So who cares a rap where the old gifts are? —Browning’s Magazine. They Might Disappear.—‘‘You want the pockets to run up and down, I sup- pose?” said the tailor. t “No, sir,”’ the irritable customer re- plied. ‘‘I prefer stationary pockets. You may make the slits perpendicular, however."’—Life. ‘A Method.—‘‘Have you thought of any way to keep your boys on the farm? “*Yep,"’ replied Mr. Corntossel. ‘Quit raisin’ crops an’ turn the place over to rabbits an’ partridges.’’— Washington Star, If You Would Preserve Your Lustrous Eyes, Use Murine Eye Tonic—A Favorite Toilet Luxury, Two Drops—No Smarting—Feels Good, In answering advertisements please mention JUDGE.
