Judge — March 15, 1913 — page 23: what you’re looking at
What you’re looking at
This page from *Judge* contains primarily **short humorous anecdotes** in the left column, plus three advertisements. The jokes mock various social types: the wealthy man miserable despite riches, the bridge player's husband, children punished with a "board of education," and people obsessed with appearing up-to-date. The main visual content is advertising. The **Velvet tobacco ad** features a grotesque face with exaggerated features in a smoke ring, promoting tobacco as "smooth" with the tagline "not a bit of bite"—typical early 20th-century cigarette marketing that emphasized smoothness. Below are ads for **Gold Seal Champagne** (positioning American wine as equal to imported) and a **Judge Art Prints catalog** offer. No political cartoons or caricatures of specific figures appear on this page. It's primarily a humor-and-advertising page typical of *Judge*'s satirical magazine format, mocking everyday social pretensions rather than addressing major political events.
