What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising for Judge magazine itself**, not political satire. The left side contains an advertisement for "Judôe: The Happy Medium," promoting the magazine as a member of the Quorin Club and National Periodical Association. The ad discusses business strategy: how achieving high volume sales allows manufacturers to lower prices while maintaining profits—a "chain" of economic efficiency. The copy emphasizes that trademarks and national advertising are essential tools for modern American businesses to reach mass markets. The right side lists the magazine's **table of contents** for this 1916 issue, featuring various humorous articles and illustrations typical of Judge's satirical format. This is essentially a **trade publication advertisement**, not political commentary.

ea? Sold It costs a great deal to make one thing at a time—to supply the need of one man, one woman or one family. But it costs propor- tionately very “ittle to make enough of the same thing to supply a hundred million people or a reasonably large part of the hundred mil- lion. That is why you can get many things very cheaply that you could not getatall if they were made for you alone —or for part of the people in your town or your state. That is why every progressive American manufacturer thinks first of the hundred million and tries to sell to every one of them that possibly can use his product. He aims at vo/ume of business because he knows that every in- crease in quantity cuts down his manufactur- ing cost, enabling him “|NDEPENDENT'USA, to lower prices or im- prove quality, which in turn will add to his volume and cut down his making costs again. It isan endless chain: more volume—less cost —lower prices or bet- ter quality—more vol- ume—less cost again— and so on. But this chain could never be made without national advertising and trade-mark identification because these two forces are the things that make volume possible —the six-cipher kind of volume—the only kind that is recognized as volume in these days of big figures. Trade-marks and na- tional advertising are the two most valuable public servants in busi- ness to-day. Their whole tendency is to raise qualities and stan- dardize them, while reducing prices and sta- bilizing them.
