What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and magazine contents**, not political satire. The main visual element is an advertisement for the "Bowser Underground Storage System" for automobile gasoline—a practical piece of early automotive infrastructure. The only cartoon present illustrates an article titled "Advertising of Advertising—A Series of Weekly Talks—No. 26," discussing how effective advertisements must be visually striking and compelling. The cartoon depicts a man (appearing to be a musician or public figure, labeled "Bull") who initially resisted advertising but eventually became persuaded of its value. The page lacks the satirical political content typical of Judge's masthead, instead focusing on commercial messaging and magazine housekeeping for this 1912 issue.

There is no man foolish enough to expect to have his money after he has spent it—Yet there are those who expect to re- tain all the driving power of their gasolene when it is kept ina non-evaporation-proof tank where the gas escapes every minute.

We have to be drawn out. Perhaps this was never better il- lustrated than by a story about aman who invented the Monitor, Ole Bull, the great violinist, was a fellow countryman of Erics- son's. When Bull first vis- ited the United States in the early sixties, he invited the inventor to one of his concerts. ‘The inventor did not go, saying that he did not care for music. Bull persisted, al- though he changed his tactics and went to Ericsson’s works taking along his violin. There, with the utmost tact, he be- gan tointerest Ericsson by talking, not about music, but about’ things of more interest to the inventor. When the conversation reached the Polat where it was easy to do so, Bull asked the inventor to remedy a trumped up defect in his violin. Then he led the conversation to the theory of sound. When Ericsson was absorbed in this scientific discussion, Bull broke in with, “John let me show you what I mean.” With that Bull drew the bow over the strings of his violin. From it came tones of such beauty that Ericsson sat en- tranced. Bull played on and on, Wheo the music ceased, Ericsson cried, “1 never Perhaps you do not know what you lack in things advertised for your good. That is why the advertisers try to reach you with illustrations and human interest stories— anything which will help you to take hold of the nearest point of appeal. Le No. 1604 Vol. LXII.
