What you’re looking at

This page consists primarily of **advertisements and humorous short stories**, not political cartoons. The "Stories with Smiles" section contains three brief anecdotes satirizing everyday social situations: 1. **"The Only Way"** mocks persistent salesmanship during economic hardship 2. **"Following Doctor's Orders"** jokes about a debtor who stops worrying about unpaid debts by ignoring the problem—technically following medical advice 3. **"Mickles' Maneuver"** satirizes a husband's elaborate scheme to hide his unattractive secretary from his wife by substituting an uglier one The advertisements include mineral water, whiskey, a press-clipping service, and cleaning fluid—typical early 20th-century consumer products. A notable feature is H.W. Slauson's **Motor Department advertisement**, offering expert automotive advice to Judge readers, reflecting the era's fascination with newly popular automobiles. The humor targets middle-class anxieties: debt, marriage dynamics, workplace awkwardness, and consumer choices—not politics.
