What you’re looking at

This page contains a **Budweiser beer advertisement** disguised as political commentary, alongside unrelated short humor pieces. The main advertisement argues against Prohibition by invoking Bismarck and German-American identity. It claims that Personal Liberty—framed as a constitutional right—protects the right to drink beer. The ad argues Germans traditionally view beer as temperance-promoting ("honestly brewed an honest beer"), positioning alcohol consumption as morally defensible. This reflects pre-Prohibition era debates when the temperance movement was gaining political strength. The cartoon depicts Bismarck on horseback, likely representing German strength and tradition, legitimizing beer-drinking through association with respected historical authority. The other content consists of brief satirical pieces: "The Fable of the Writer" mocks pretentious literary poseurs, and "His Deplorable Condition" ridicules a foolish nephew making bad investments. The **Hotel Marlborough advertisement** rounds out the page.

; : os reatest ofthe Germans” MEAO SERIES HOLA Bismarck-the ISMARCK like all Germans, prized Personal Liberty as the breath of life—a NATURAL RIGHT to be guarded and defended atany cost, Among our millions of law-abiding German-American Citizens there is not a man who does not consider it insolent tyranny of the most odious kind for any legislation to issue this command: am “Thou shalt NOTeat this—thou shalt NOTdrink that” Germans ES know that there is no evil in the light wines and beers of their fathers. EVIL ONLY IS INTHE MAN WHO MISUSES THEM. Fifty-seven years ago ANHEUSER-BUSCH founded their great institution upon the tenets of the Constitution of the United States. During these fifty-seven years they have honestly brewed an honest beer—the kind that has added to the Temperance of nations. Their great brand —BUDWEISER— is demanded throughout the world. Its sales exceed any other beer by millions of bottles, proving it to be in a lass oy ieet. ANHEUSER-BUSCH ST.LOUIS ‘Budweise SpellsTemperance Broadway, 36th to 37th St., New York.

That is, he was sup. posed to be a literary man. In one wa or another the news spread abroad that he was a writer, and his fame grew jp consequence thereof, until there were few in the community more honored than he, As he went along the streets, the women would point him out to their friends, say. ing, “See! There he goes. He writes, you know.’” “What does he write?’’ the friends would ask. “I don’t know exactly what, but he's very literary, I’m told.”” In truth, nobody had ever seen anything he had written, for he had never had any. thing published. At length, however, he had a book published at his own expense, and, as but few people wished to buy it, he mailed presentation copies to all his acquaintances. From that moment his fame was in total eclipse. ‘Why, I thought the fellow could write!" said every one, closing the book after a brief examination. Moral—Blessed is the writer who does not write. Ellis 0. Jones, His Deplorable Condition «MY NEPHEW, Gordon W. Yaw, is in a bad way,’’ pessimistically stated Uncle Timrod Tarpy. ‘‘He has bought a considerable quantity of Florida fruit land at a good deal too much per gallon, and for quite a while has been collecting enlarged portraits of himself, no two of which look alike ond none of which in any way resembles the original, except that neither he nor tne pictures have more than one nose apiece. He has an abiding faith in divining rods and spirit rappings and his ability to pick out the shell which has the little ball under it. He has invested in many different plans for grasping a fortune and in at least one oil well with stockholders in the hole, and thinks very highly of buried treasures, hair restorers and missionaries, and actually believes that if he doesn’t grasp the present opportunity to buy one of the few remaining sets of ‘Golden Mo- ments with the Poets,’ he will never have another chance. During his spare time for many years he has been a consistent believer that the grand old political party with which he affiliates is right, right or wrong, and just now he is corresponding with a widow whom he met by mail. He tells me whenever I will listen to him that he feels a sort of rundownness and lassitude all the time. Looking his ree- ord over carefully, { fain would believe that Gordon is suffering from overwork.” —Tom P. Morgan. A Fighting Chance Miss Passée—Oh, Mr. Plunks, are you married or unmarried? Mr. Plunks—Married, generally. But. if you would call every day, you might strike me some time when I wasn’t. In answering advertisements please mention JUDGE, It will be appreciated. comicbooks.com
