What you’re looking at

The main content is a **Schlitz beer advertisement** claiming brown bottles protect beer from light damage (which causes "skunk-like odor"). It cites the Wahl-Henius Institute of Fermentology as scientific authority and boasts of massive production growth. The page also contains two **humorous anecdotes**: 1. **"The German Method"**: A story about an American gentleman farmer who loses money through lavish entertaining and wasteful spending, while a German immigrant tenant who buys the same farm prospers by selling everything and feeding unsold crops to pigs. The satire mocks American extravagance versus immigrant frugality—a common early 20th-century stereotype. 2. **"Those Lilac Bushes"**: An incomplete story (cut off) about Arthur Brisbane, Hearst's editor, losing patience with public criticism of his high salary. A child apparently tells a relevant story about lilac bushes. The page is primarily advertising with satirical filler content typical of Judge magazine's mixed editorial-commercial format.

Sunlight grows hops, but spoils the beer. “Beer acted upon by light soon takes up the very disagreeable, so-called ‘light taste,’ and also a repulsive, skunk-like odor,” says no less an authority than the Wahl-Henius Institute of Fermentology, the scientific authorities on the sub- (7 ject. ‘‘Beer so affected,’’ they say, “‘is offensive to the palate of most consumers.”” Light starts decay even in pure beer. Dark glass gives the best protection against light. The Brown Bottle protects Schlitz purity from the brewery to your glass. Why don’t you, too, drink Schlitz? people every year are demanding it.

Edson Joseph Chamberlain, presi- dent of the Grand Trunk Railway, had a friend whose ambition was to make money enough to buy a farm and go into gentleman farming ona large scale. He made enough money in a few years to gratify his ambi- tion, and retired from business and bought a large stock farm. “He bought the finest blooded stock,”” says Mr. Chamberlain; “hired lots of help; had all kinds of fruit, grain and vegetables; made a regular show place of it; entertained lavishly and grew poorer each year, until at last he gave the whole thing up in disgust and went back to the city. He sold his farm to a German. “A few years afterward he took a trip back to the farm, and found to his astonishment that the German had been very prosperous and had made lots of money. “**Why, Jerome,’ said my friend, ‘how is it that you have made all this money, while I lost about all I put into the place?” « Well,’ replied Jerome, ‘you see, sir, you spendt money on eferything, und trow id avay; you invites all dose folks, and dey come and ead up ef- erything you raise. Now, all I raise in de garden und in de fields I dake to de market; what I cannot sell in de market I brings home und feeds to mine pigs, und vat mine pigs | will nod eat I feed to mine fami. Those Lilac Bushes. Arthur Brisbane, Hearst's editor, has lost his patience with the public who attach such a huge salary to his position, it is said.
