What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising**, not political satire. The dominant content is a Schlitz beer advertisement featuring a large brown bottle and claims about purity, sterilization, and protection from light damage. The right column contains three short humorous anecdotes rather than political commentary: 1. **"Band Wagon" story**: A joke about a disenchanted boy who believed his father was riding a circus band wagon, only to learn he'd promised to stay on the "water wagon" (temperance/sobriety)—the humor relies on this period's drinking culture references. 2. **"Bringing 'Em Up to Date"**: A photographer's surprise when a young woman requests he remove her engagement ring from photos because she has a new boyfriend—mild social satire about modern romance. 3. **"Where It Came From"**: A frivolous origin myth for zebra-skin blazers, attributed to Eve after the Fall. The Hotel Earlington advertisement appears below. This page contains no identifiable political figures or serious satire—it's entertainment and advertising typical of Judge's lighter content.

Did you ever hear of the f little boy and the band wagon?” The friend admitted having heard of; (a) Casabianca little boy, (b) little boy blue, (c) little Rollo boys—— “No, this wasn't any literary little A boy. This was a real-life little boy, like all these other little boys we see in the house now, listening to the wreck of a fine old tune. Good little boy. He was stending on the street curb, watch. ing a circus parade. He seemed partic. ularly interested in the band wagon, bat ip Th after it had passed he stared at it and Q seemed to shrunk and fizzle—just like] Po have shrank and fizzled to-day.
