What you’re looking at

This page from *Judge* magazine is primarily **advertising**, with humor pieces supporting product promotions. The main cartoon "With the College Wits" satirizes young college students' behavior—depicting them discussing whether to buy a poodle or other frivolous matters. The joke contrasts their shallow concerns with "the wisdom of age," used to advertise Old Overholt Rye whiskey. Below are humorous anecdotes mocking various professions and situations: a resourceful newspaper editor, incompetent policemen, and pretentious travelers boasting about the South. These jokes were typical *Judge* fare—light social satire attacking pomposity and foolishness. The dominant content is advertising for the **Mears Ear Phone**, a hearing aid device marketed to deaf people. The ads emphasize this as a new electrical invention with adjustable "4-Tone" settings—revolutionary for 1920s hearing technology. The promotional copy offers free trials and special introductory prices to generate immediate sales interest.
