What you’re looking at
This page contains two distinct sections: **Left side:** A humor column titled "With The College Wits" featuring brief jokes sourced from various college humor magazines (Stanford Chaparral, Columbia Jester, Penn State Froth, etc.). The jokes are genteel comedic quips about college life—a man roughing it but missing luxuries, flirting mishaps, and social pretensions. These reflect early 20th-century college humor standards: mildly risqué but ultimately wholesome observations on courtship, class, and student life. **Right side:** A full-page advertisement for Schlitz beer in brown bottles, accompanied by a hotel ad. The beer ad emphasizes that brown glass protects beer from light-induced decay ("skunky taste"), positioning Schlitz as superior to competitors using clear bottles. This reflects genuine brewing chemistry—light exposure does degrade beer quality—but serves as marketing differentiation during Prohibition's aftermath when breweries competed aggressively. The juxtaposition shows Judge's business model: satirical college humor content alongside paid advertising, typical of early-to-mid 20th-century magazine publishing.

Any beer in a light bottle is exposed to danger of impurity. Why should you risk this decay? Why should any brewer ask you to? Schlitz Brown Bottle keeps out light and protects the purity.
