This page is **primarily advertising**, not political satire. The dominant content features two insurance company advertisements: 1. **"Insurance Economy"** (top left) - promoting Postal Life Insurance's non-agency savings model, highlighting an annual dividend of 9½%. 2. **"Postal Life Insurance Company"** (bottom) - a larger ad with the Postal Life Building image, emphasizing the company's stability and offering. The right side contains Judge magazine's table of contents for this March 1, 1913 inauguration issue, listing various humorous articles and satirical pieces. **No political cartoons or caricatures appear on this page.** While Judge was known for political satire, this particular page serves mainly to showcase insurance industry advertisements targeting readers with information about policy benefits and financial security—typical commercial content for the era's magazines.

Anyone now desir- ing sound insurance- Protection can walk into the office of the Postal Life, or write a letter to it and deal direct, thus becoming his own agent, and saving for himself the agents’ commissions each year. The non-agency method has been fol- lowed in England for more than a century. i As a matter of fact, it is agency - expense that has burdened and weakened more ti one Americancompany. The Postal Life has, indeed, absorbed two such companies and by so doing has saved their policy- holders from serious loss. Fare MORE than 1,600 people were ac- cepted last year for insurance in the Postal—without agents. The first year Postal policyholders receive a guaranteed commission diyi- dend corresponding to what other companies pay their agents, less the. moderate adver- tising charge. In subsequent years policyholders can deduct the entire agents’ renewal com- mission of 714% and an office-expense sav- ing of 2% making up the Annual Dividend of 1 4% Guaranteed in the Policy And, in addition, the Postal pays, every year after the first, contingent dividends that are earned by the policy.
