What you’re looking at

This page is **primarily advertising**, dominated by a major Remington Typewriter Company advertisement using pseudo-logic comparing typewriter market dominance to sheep wool production ("white sheep give more wool than black sheep—there are more of them"). The ad's point: Remington's ubiquity proves its superiority; 12.5 million letters daily validate its "efficiency." The right column contains what appears to be **serialized fiction** (likely a short story), featuring characters named Montague and Pipp. The narrative involves a business scheme, a robbery at Harper Hospital, and newspaper reporters. A headline reads "ROBBED AND LEFT FOR DEAD" with details about "Montague Pipp, member of the well-known legal firm of Pipp & Sharp" losing $3,200 in an assault. Below are classified ads recruiting agents/salesmen for various business opportunities and inventions (vacuum massage machine, etc.)—typical early-20th-century "get rich quick" pitches. The page reflects Judge's mix of advertising revenue with entertainment content, characteristic of period magazines.

Will you have a smoke on me to-day, gentlemen?” Early in the afternoon I left Montague to continue his good work alone, while] returned to the office. When he joined me at four o'clock, I had exciting news for him. Colonel Buzzard, the big de partment-store man, had called upon me personally and had given us a piece of business which he wanted accomplished “‘without any court proceedings or news. paper notoriety.” It was the first proof of the value of Montague’s scheme, and I was quite happy when, at six o'clock, I went to the house where I roomed. Along about eleven o’clock that night I was wonder ing why I had not heard from Montague, when I was called to the telephone out in the hall. A shiver ran up my spine when they told me I was connected with Har per Hospital. “Mr. Pipp is here,’’ the voice at the other end said, ‘‘and he wants you imme diately.""
