This page is primarily **advertising**, with one short poem titled "At the Horse Show" by John Kendrick Bangs visible on the right side. The advertisements feature typical early 20th-century consumer goods: made-to-measure suits (Stanley-Rogers Co.), billiard tables (Burrowes), pianos (Behning), and cocktails (Club Cocktails by Heublein). The ads emphasize **easy payment plans**—a significant selling point of the era. Phrases like "Pay as You Are Able," "Over 6 Months to Pay," and "FREE TRIAL—NO RED TAPE" suggest these were novel, reassuring concepts for working-class consumers considering major purchases. The brief Bangs poem satirizes **high society horse shows**, poking gentle fun at wealthy socialites and their fashionable pretensions. There are **no political cartoons** on this page—it's a standard magazine advertisement section typical of Judge's revenue model.

The aging of a cocktail is as necessary to perfect flavor as the aging of wine or whisky. The delicious flavor and aroma of Club Cocktails is due not alone to the precise blending of the choicest liquors obtainable, but to the fact that they are softened to mellowness by aging before bottling.

Hartford New York At the Horse Show, By JOHN KENDRICK BaNGs, Alu HAIL to thee, oh, horse— where’er thou art! I’ve come to-night to do my humble part In paying court to thee, and on thy pate To place the laurel, and to dub thee great; But, pepding thy arrival, let us see What wondrous sights on every side there be— A noble mass, indeed, has gathered here- To do thee honor and thy heart to cheer. What haughty dame is she in yonder stall, Clad in the garb of Fashion's festival! What regal gown is that that she doth wear— E’en Sheba’s Queen would suffer by compate! i Such silken folds! Such jewels of great price— Strung diamonds that gleam like chunks of ice— Was that the horse that just came in? Oh, well, Until he comes let's wander round a spell. There go young Cadsby and his latest wife. Here's hoping she'll be equal to the * strife Which sent the former Mrs. C. ost West, To seek relief in Gretna Greno's Rest! And, there, that woman with the gorgeous hat, A cross between a pheasant and acat, Is Mrs.— Good! Here comes the horse at last! What! No? Dear me! the evening's nearly past! That fellow there, dressed in the yellow coat, Is Henri de Roulette, le Duc de Red- ingote, I Who lately came a-dancing o'er the rill To find some maid to pay his plumb er’s bill, To share his title and repair his roof, And help to hold his creditors aloof. The girl beside him— What is that you say? The only horse they had died yester- day? ry Here, usher—hurry—call a taxi-hack, Whilst I go out and get my money back! Improving a Proverb. Platitudinous person—‘‘I suppose, my dear Mr. Gotrox, that you have used ‘Make hay while the sun shines’ as your life’s motto?” Mr. Gotrox—"‘Certainly, sir, cer tainly! But that’s only half of it. You should add that I made the hay from the grass other people let grow under their feet.’ In answering advertisements please mention JUDGE. It will be appreciated. comicbooks.com
