What you’re looking at
This is primarily an **advertisement page**, not political satire. The left side promotes B.C. Forbes's serialized article series "The Men Who Are Making America" running in *Leslie's* magazine, targeting businessmen by naming prominent industrialists (Gary, Vanderlip, du Pont, Warburg) whose stories will appear. The right side contains **light humor pieces** typical of early 20th-century magazines: nostalgic rural poetry about fruit jars evoking childhood memories; brief jokes about women's fashion (short skirts), camping hardships (limited mirrors), and labor scarcity on farms. These are gentle, apolitical observations rather than satire. There is **no significant political cartoon or substantive satire** on this page. It represents typical Judge magazine content mixing business promotion with domestic humor aimed at middle-class readers.

“Men Who Are Making America”’ Big businessmen started reading ‘‘The Men Who Are Making America,’’ now running in Leslie’s, because it was being written by B. C. FORBES, the Country’s Leading Indus- trial and Financial Writer. Big and little businessmen, and the rest of the country, too, are reading it now because they realize that it is the greatest history of modern American enterprise ever compiled. Mr. Forbes’ Story of A. Barton Hepburn appears in this week’s issue. Articles on Gary, Vail, Keith, Schwab, Vanderlip, Schiff, Archbold, Forgan, Davison, Dollar, and du Pont have already been published. The sensational story of how the Aldrich Currency Bill was framed and the life of Paul Warburg will be printed in Leslie’s for October 19. \. $5.00 and the coupon brings Leslie’s for a year.
