What you’re looking at

This page is primarily composed of **advertisements and anecdotal humor** rather than political satire. It contains: **Main Content: Typewriter & Watch Ads** - Left side promotes the Smith Premier typewriter (manufactured by Remington), emphasizing its "complete visible writing" feature - Right side advertises Burlington Special watches with "Inlay Enamel" cases available on monthly payment plans **Amusing Stories Section (Center)** This features three short humorous anecdotes about named public figures: 1. **Dr. Robert Collyer** — a clergyman who receives a Latin degree but admits he only knows "et cetera" 2. **George Ade** (American humorist) — jokes about the distinction between "sight" and "vision," implying a woman he passed was beautiful ("a vision") while one with an acquaintance named Billy was ugly ("a sight") 3. **James B. Reynolds** — Assistant Secretary of Treasury, discusses limited French skills with Senator Root, who sarcastically notes Reynolds can communicate with waiters/cab drivers, but a diplomatic conference might require more sophisticated language The humor relies on wordplay, linguistic mishaps, and gentle mockery of the figures' limitations—typical light satirical content for Judge magazine's audience.

This distinctive feature has won for the Smith Premier Typewriter a vast army of loyal users. Smith Premier Department Remington Typewriter Company (incorporated, New York and Everywhere a! Amusing Stories of Well Known Persons. His Only Latin, An Eastern college once conferred a degree upon the late Dr. Robert Collyer. The text of the manuscript was written entirely in Latin. Turning toa friend who stood beside him, the old clergyman said, ‘‘It must be all right, but all the Latin I know is et cetera. A Lesson in English George Ade, at a dinner in New York, urged a subtler use of words. ‘‘Use words with delicate care,’’ he said. “Observe all subtle distinctions. Never write ‘vision,’ for instance, when ‘sight’ is what you mean.”” “There is no difference between * and ‘vision, editor. “‘No?’’ said Mr. Ade. ‘‘And yet, Billy, when you and I passed each other on Broadway yesterday, the girlel was with was a vision, while the one with you was a sight.”” His French.
