What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertisements** interspersed with humor content. The main satirical article, "A Humorist in Serious Mood," profiles **Colonel W. J. Lampton**, a military officer and *Judge* contributor. The satire gently mocks his rural aspirations—though he's an urban New York writer, he dreams of farming in New Jersey, wanting to raise chickens and manage a mortgage while maintaining literary pursuits. The joke emphasizes the disconnect between his intellectual life and his romantic notions of agricultural work (notably, he plans to use a plow with chickens, suggesting naive farm knowledge). The "Pot-Luck with Lucullus" section illustrates advertising principles through a Roman anecdote: Lucullus's servants understood that "Apollo Room" meant an extravagant meal without explanation. Similarly, **brand names function as shorthand**—consumers "buy goods by name" rather than requiring detailed descriptions. This directly supports the magazine's advertising philosophy. The remaining content consists of product advertisements for whiskey, champagne, and phonographs.

Pot-Luck with Lucullus Perhaps the function of a trade-mark was never better illustrated than in a bit of humor contained in a folder issued by one of the great cement companies. The folder was entitled *‘* Pot-Luck with Lucullus.”* **Lucullus,”” so the folder tells us, **was the Bradley Martin of antiquity." “It was said that a square meal at Lucullus’ country house cost one hundred thousand sestertiums.” “It was a favorite trick of Lucullus’ friends to stop him in the Forum and beg to be taken home to dinner, hoping to catch him some day when they had nothing but warmed up potatoes and cold meat.” “Take me out to dinner, Cul,” said Cicero one day; “no fuss, I just want pot- luck."* Lucullus telephoned out, right before Cicero, and simply said : “Serve dinner for two in the Apollo Room.”* The room was decorated with American Beauty roses, and the dinner cost about ten thousand sestertiums a plate. The secret was in that word * Apollo.” Lucullus had an understanding with his servants that when he said ‘* Apollo Room it meant ** blow yourself on a meal.” In the same way a trade-mark indi- cates what you want. It saves descrip- tions and explanations.

J. Mar. 23. A Humorist in Serious Mood, VER since Colonel W. J. Lampton, one of the very few humorists of modern times whose military operation have been such. as to have elevate them to the rank of colonel and who is, well-known contributor to Jupce— we were about to state when rudely jp. terrupted by this explanation, eye since Colonel W. J. Lampton has lived in New York City, he has wanted to lie in New Jersey and on a farm—not 4 plantation, but just an ordinary fam, about as big as he could spade up ing day, as he describes it. On this fam he desires to raise chickens and the mortgage, and, like all literary persos with rural ambitions, he has dreame dreams of the day when he could shunt the typewriter to one side and take bold of the plow handle Just what a plow has to do with ri ing chickens he does not yet know, but he will write to th Secretary of Agriculture, at Washing. ton, D. C., that fount of farm knowl. edge to all the needy, and find out ere it COLONEL WILLIAM J. LAMPTON AMONG TER CHICKENS. (The one wearing the hat is the Colonel.) is too late. He hopes to secure a brand of hens which will store their egg energy when the price of eggs is lov and lay them in bunches when the price goes up, and already has opened negotis- tions with Burbank, the California woo- der, to produce a species that will stand the Jersey climate. The picture accom panying this brief sketch is supposed t2 be reproduced from a photograph takes of Colonel Lampton on his Jersey chickes farm, and is an excellent likeness; bet it never was taken on a Jersey farm On the contrary, it was taken on th farm of General James S. Clarksoa, near Tarrytown, N. Y., and the chickess were borrowed from the neighbors e pressly for this occasion. Just th same, Colonel Lampton is a great Amer ican humorist, whose pun is mightie than his sword. Extremes Meet.
