# Judge Magazine, December 20, 1913 This page is primarily **promotional material** for Judge magazine itself rather than political commentary. The left side features an **illustrated mascot character** (labeled "Judge") depicted as a jester or comic figure striking an energetic pose, accompanied by marketing copy describing the magazine as a source of humor and intellectual stimulation. The text humorously equates reading Judge with avoiding becoming a "mollusk" or "clam"—using the metaphor that regular exposure to the magazine's wit prevents mental stagnation. The right side contains a **table of contents** for this Christmas greeting issue and subscription information ($5/year for 52 issues). At the bottom, an advertisement mentions "the Automobile Number of JUDGE" arriving January 3rd. This is largely **advertising copy** promoting the magazine's value as entertainment and social commentary.
