What you’re looking at
This page from *Judge* (a satirical magazine) contains primarily **short humorous anecdotes** rather than political cartoons. The jokes target common Americana themes: - **Legal satire**: A lawyer's pun about fees being "feasible" - **Religious hypocrisy**: A man donating more to "educate the heathen" after his son starts college—implying the son needs "civilizing" - **Advertising satire**: A child refusing to discuss what "heroes are made of" because he won't promote breakfast cereals - **Gender humor**: A young woman hopefully suggesting a man forgot to say "good-night" The page is dominated by **period advertisements** for Sunny Brook Whiskey (emphasizing 50 years of quality and U.S. Inspector approval) and Club Cocktail whiskey—reflecting Prohibition-era marketing strategies that stressed legitimacy and purity. There's also an ad for cartooning instruction and the Hotel Albert in New York. The satire is gentle, focusing on domestic life, commerce, and American social pretensions rather than sharp political critique.

There’s just the difference be- tween a raw, poorly made Cock- tail and a Club Cocktail that there is between a raw, new: Whiskey and a soft old one. The best of ingredients—the most accurate blending cannot give the softness and mel- lowness that age imparts. Club Cocktails are aged in wood before bottling—and no freshly made Cocktail can be as good. Me ittam, Martini and ether lard blends, bottled, ready serve through crached ice.
