What you’re looking at

This is primarily an **advertising page** from Judge magazine, interspersed with a continuing narrative story titled "The Hillburys Try Touring." **Main Content:** The page features period advertisements for consumer goods (Chiclets gum, Pears' Soap, Hotel Imperial, Fish-Lure bait) and a remedy called Mothersill's for seasickness and train sickness. These are straightforward commercial ads typical of early 20th-century magazines. **Story Element:** "The Hillburys Try Touring" describes a comedic automobile mishap during a New England tour. Mrs. Hillbury, steering a taxicab on an upgrade, loses control as it backs rapidly downhill. The humor derives from her theatrical fainting—presented as a genteel escape from managing the crisis. This reflects period attitudes about women drivers and genteel femininity. **No political cartoons appear on this page.** It's a commercial/entertainment page without satirical commentary.

Meantime the taximeter had reached $22.40 and the car had encoun- tered an upgrade. There was a sudden decrease in speed, followed by a halt and a retreat. The car was soon backing down the hill faster than it had moved at any time during the initial leg of the New England tour. The problem of steering a rapidly receding taxicab was too complex a one for Mrs. Hilibury. It was her cue to faint. This she didas gracefully as she could, considering that she was supported in the center only by the sill of the window out of which she was leaning. By this time her husband had got back a portion of his breath, and managed to turn about on the hood and grab the wheel that she had deserted. He gave it an enthusiastic turn. The car swerved and made for an ex- cavation at the side of the road, into which it backed gracefully and stopped Mr. Hillbury climbed off the hood ard y his wife to a more lady- like position the tonneau.
