What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertisements and humorous anecdotes**, not political cartoons. The "Stories with Smiles" section contains brief jokes typical of early 20th-century Judge magazine. **The humor depends on period assumptions:** - "Going to It Gently": A newlywed husband confesses he's tired of angel food cake—a "delicate" way to broach domestic disappointment, playing on expectations of newlywed politeness. - "Rule of a Higher Court": A man refuses to leave court because his mother-in-law dares him to return home—the joke relies on the stock "oppressive mother-in-law" stereotype. - "An Idea" and "Following Good Advice": Rural/dialect humor about Latin swearing and visiting aunts—reflecting class attitudes toward education and family obligation. - "Followed Orders": Satirizes journalistic timidity by showing how excessive use of "alleged" and "rumored" creates absurdity when describing routine social events. These are gentle, domestic comedies without sharp political content—reflecting Judge's shift toward lighter humor. The advertisements (whisky, seasickness remedy, patent attorney services) anchor this as a middle-class publication.

We can, because we asked ten thousand leading business men to name the fifty greatest among them. B. C. Forbes, before beginning his great series, “Men Who Are Making America,” wrote to ten thousand succes- multimillionaires themselves to the presidents of country banks. He asked them cach to name the fifty greatest living builders of industrial America. Their votes have decided who these fifty are. There is no half- knowledge, no bias or prejudice, in such a choice Mr. ‘bes, who is recognized as at once one of the ablest, yet most interest. ing financial writers in America, has drawn on the knowledge gained from years of financial experience and ac- quaintance, with a careful study of the real life of each man chosen, to write the hitherto unwritten story of each of these great men.
