This page combines vintage advertisements with a "College Wits" humor section—typical filler content for Judge magazine. **The College Humor Section** consists of brief, witty exchanges from various college publications (Michigan Gargoyle, Yale Record, Stanford Chaparral, Dartmouth Jack o' Lantern, Princeton Tiger). These jokes reflect early-20th-century college life: romantic pursuits, sporting events, dormitory antics, and campus figures like heavyweight boxers and temperance lecturers. The humor is light, punning, and wholesome—jokes about losing trunk keys, calling on girls, and ecclesiastical sermons. **The Advertisements** include Cook's typewriters (emphasizing "typewriter the new way"), Romeike's Press Cutting Bureau (a clipping service), and Film Fun magazine (promoting behind-the-scenes Hollywood gossip). These ads target aspirational readers interested in modernized office work and celebrity culture. The page reflects Judge's role: satirical commentary mixed with accessible consumer advertising and collegiate humor that would appeal to educated, middle-class American readers of the era.
