Judge — September 12, 1914 — page 21: what you’re looking at
What you’re looking at
This page primarily contains **short humorous anecdotes** ("Stories with Smiles") typical of Judge magazine's satirical content. The jokes mock human behavior: a corrupt juror, a hypocritical film censor, a struggling teacher, and insurance fraud rationalized as "friction." The dominant feature is a **Schlitz beer advertisement** promoting their brown bottle. The ad argues that light bottles expose beer to decay, making Schlitz's brown bottle superior for "purity." This reflects early 20th-century concerns about product preservation before modern refrigeration—beer in clear bottles genuinely degraded faster from light exposure. The ad's messaging about "beer drinking nations are among the strongest" reflects contemporary attitudes linking national vigor to beer consumption, common in German-American advertising of the era. The page also includes classified ads for patent attorneys and magazine subscriptions—standard magazine filler of the period. There is **no political cartoon** per se on this page; it's primarily advertising and humor content typical of Judge's format.

The brewing industry is one of the greatest in the world. The beer drinking nations are among the strongest. No one can afford to take chances with the purity of beer.

But it struck me it might have been the result of friction.”” Why," asked the friend, ‘what do You mean by that?"” .
