What you’re looking at
This page is primarily a **Pabst Blue Ribbon beer advertisement** featuring a man enthusiastically endorsing the product's flavor and digestive qualities. The ad uses typical early 20th-century marketing imagery—a well-dressed gentleman and scenes of social consumption—to promote beer as a beverage that "pleases everybody." The surrounding text includes unrelated content: a hotel advertisement and two brief humorous pieces. One involves a phonograph salesman who records someone playing French horn, apparently poorly. The other, titled "In Such Case Made and Provided," is satirical commentary on legal corruption—discussing a grafting conviction where lawyers deliberately delay justice to maximize fees, with the punchline that laws themselves "were made by lawyers." This juxtaposition reflects *Judge* magazine's typical mix of advertising revenue and satirical social commentary critiquing greed and institutional hypocrisy.

Let mother have her old-time ways And don’t find fault with them, For childhood thought her ways best, And they’re as good as then. The ways of love and tenderners Are never out of style; Remember this and tell her so— Don’t wait till after while. Let not affection wane with yer 1s; It waneth not for you. Go, put your arms around her now- Kiss her as you used to do. More than you know, her heart cri out And craves affection still The same sweet mother love is there Unchanged; it never will. Life does not hold enough of years In which we can repay A mother's love—but do your best Before she goes away. —Pittsburgh Gazette-Times.
