What you’re looking at
This page from **Judge** (a satirical American magazine) is primarily composed of **advertisements and humorous anecdotes**, not political cartoons. The content includes: **Advertisements** for watches, tires, accountancy courses, and hotels—typical commercial fare from the early 20th century. **Humorous short pieces** labeled "What They Laugh At Abroad," featuring jokes about patience, painters, and courtship—presented as amusing observations rather than satire. **A James Montgomery Flagg illustration** ("Aren't You Coming Along?") advertising art prints, showcasing the famous artist's work. **The humor** relies on mild wordplay and everyday social observations: a farmer's debate about patience, a painter mowing his lawn, someone breaking teeth over a "thank-you-man" in a car. These are gentle, non-partisan jokes reflecting early-20th-century domestic life. **The satire**, where present, targets no specific political figures or movements—just general human foibles and commercial absurdity. This is primarily a **commercial/entertainment page**, not a vehicle for political commentary.

Patience—‘ Patience and perseverance will accomplish all things,” was the favorite saying of an old farmer. He had just made this remark ina train one day on the way to the market, when a pompous in- dividual in the next seat turned to him and said: “Nonsense, sir! I can tell you many things which neither patience nor perseverance can accomplish.” “Perhaps you can,” said the farmer, “but I have never yet come across one thing.”” “Well, then, I'll tell you one.
