# Judge Magazine, June 7, 1913 - Page Analysis **Main Content:** This page is dominated by a Remington Typewriter advertisement featuring a man at a typewriter with the headline "The Average Buyer Buys the Remington." **The Satire/Message:** The ad's text argues that regardless of purchasing method—reputation, comparison, or rigorous testing—buyers inevitably choose Remington. This is satirical advertising: it humorously suggests the Remington's superiority is so obvious that any rational evaluation leads to the same conclusion. The repetitive "he buys the Remington" becomes comedic through its inevitability. **Context:** In 1913, typewriters were relatively new office technology, and manufacturers competed aggressively. The ad mockingly implies that competing products cannot withstand actual scrutiny. The remainder of the page contains the magazine's table of contents and subscription rates. No political cartoons are visible.
