What you’re looking at

This page contains primarily **humor columns and advertisements** rather than political cartoons. The left column features joke anecdotes (titled sections like "Quite Obvious," "No Brutality for Him," "A Serious Error") that play on misunderstandings or hypocrisy—typical of *Judge's* satirical humor. For example, a father claims boxing is dangerous but accepts his son's spinal injury from football. These reflect **early 1910s American attitudes** toward class, honesty, and masculinity. The dominant content is **advertising**: a large Schlitz beer ad explaining that dark brown bottles prevent "skunky taste" caused by light exposure, citing a 1911 brewers' congress. Below are smaller ads for Cortez cigars, Hotel Albert in New York, and Loftis Brothers jewelry (credit for engagement rings). These ads indicate *Judge* served an affluent male readership interested in luxury goods. No identifiable political figures or events appear on this page.

Well, really, I can’t see it. What does it mean, dear?’” “Why, a canard is something one ca- nartly believe, of course !"* “Qh, to besure! Why couldn’t I think of that?”’"—Savannah News, No Brutality for Him—‘‘Prize fighting isa dangerous game!’" “Seems s0."" “[ would rather see my son dead than to see him indulging in such a sport.’’ “Let's see—didn’t your son get both legs broken and his spine dislocated last year?” MThat was at football. I hope you do not think I would permit him to engage ina prize fight."’—Houston Post. A Serious Error—‘‘ You've made a mis- take in your paper,’’ said the indignant man, entering the editorial sanctum. ‘‘I was one of the competitors at the athletic match yesterday, and you have called me the well-known lightweight champion.’’ “Well, aren't you?’’ said the editor. “No, I'm nothing of the kind; and it’s confoundedly awkward, because, you see, I'macoal merchant. ''—Cleveland Leader. Too Honest—‘‘Sir,’’ said the office boy to his employer, ‘‘as you know very well that my family is in perfect health, I ask you to let me off this afternoon to go to the ball game.’* “Young man,’’ replied the boss, ‘‘you are entirely too honest. I have my sus- picions of you. You are fired.’’—Port- land Express. Proceedings Discontinued—‘‘Your hus- band is willing to allow you the custody of the automobile, the poodle and the rubber plant, while he takes the children and the graphophone.’’ “Stop the divorce,’ sobbed the wife. “T'll never get another husband like that.""—Louisville Courier-Journal. A Humanitarian Shocked—‘‘Doesn’t it bamiliate you to have to go through life this way?"? asked the sympathetic woman as she purchased a photograph. “Yes, ma’am,’’ replied the Bearded Lady. “If it wasn't for the wife and kids, I'd throw up the job to-day.”-— Cincinnati Enquirer.

Without that Taste or Odor - That offensive taste and odor in some beers is easily avoided. Light starts decay even in pure beer. Dark glass gives the best protection against light. “While beer quickly deteriorates when it is exposed to direct su: light, such deterioration, although greatly retarded, will event- ually take place in diffused light.* ** Beer exposed to the rays of the sun will very quickly acquire the so-called ‘skunk taste’."” Extract from Proceedings of the Second International Brewers* Congress held in Chicago October 19-21, 1911. Vol. 1, page 300. We have adopted every invention, every idea that make for purity. The Brown Bottle is only another step in Schlitz progress. Our beer was first brewed in a hut. Today our agencies dot the earth. Our output exceeds a million barrels a year. More and more people every year are drinking Schlitz. Why don’t you?
