What you’re looking at

This page combines humor columns and advertisements typical of Judge's early 20th-century format. **The humor pieces** are brief jokes reprinted from college publications (Michigan Awgawan, Princeton Tiger, etc.), targeting educated readers. They include wordplay ("tall reflecting" at a mirror), romantic comedy (betting to kiss without touching), and period comedy ("Welsh rabbit" as a euphemism). One joke references the slow adoption of automobiles—a chauffeur asking "which car shall I do it with?" to kill chickens, suggesting cars were still novelties. **The cartoons** (top right) are Judge covers by James Montgomery Flagg titled "First National Bank" and "Wallnuts," now offered as art prints for 50 cents. The images show men in business attire in comedic situations, typical of Judge's middle-class humor. **The advertisements**—Old Overholt Rye, Buckskin Tires, Hotel Vendig, Cortez Cigars—target affluent male readers with products emphasizing durability and value. The page reflects 1917 America's consumer culture and genteel college humor focused on romance, business, and modern conveniences.
