What you’re looking at

This page is primarily a **practical buyer's guide**, not a political cartoon or satire. It consists of two main sections: **Left column:** Instructional text encouraging readers to request manufacturers' catalogs before purchasing, explaining this helps them understand products and services better. **Right column:** "The Call" by Berton Braley—a poem romanticizing the American West, celebrating its natural beauty and calling to those tired of urban life. **Below:** Brief humorous anecdotes ("Hors de Wednesday," "It's the Little Things that Count," etc.)—light comedic sketches about everyday situations. The bulk of both pages comprises **advertisements** for various mail-order catalogs: accountancy courses, hotels, cameras, diamonds, correspondence schools, automobiles, and more. This reflects early 20th-century commerce when Judge magazine functioned partly as a shopping guide for readers unable to access physical stores. No political satire or caricature appears on this particular page—it's primarily commercial and light entertainment content.

Mich, zy Troi Stearns & Ce JUDGE The Call By Berton Brarey T'S this way wiih me, 1 don’t hold with th fellow Who talks of the West as a True Paradise, Who calls all the Easterners stingy and yellow And Westerners noble and big-hearted guys; [ve found every nature and species of mortals Ir East and in West, and they’re all much alike Yet when the breeze blows from the far mountais portals It calls to me, somehow, to start on the hike. I haven't much use for the people who babble Of “Life that’s untrammeled out there in the West, Who moan about “‘Stifling amid all the rabble” And talk about city air hurting their chest The East has been good to me, why should [ hammer One section of country, one part of our land? But nevertheless I respond to the glamor And lure of the Rockies, majestic and grand! The East has its beauties, it's meadows are fairer Its foliage greener than that of the West, But somehow I long for a region that’s barer With mountain peaks rising in crest after crest, For once you are caught by the spell that you know there The West keeps on calling, wherever you be, And sometime you'll pack up your bag and youl go there Or anyhow, partner, it’s that way with me! Hors de Wednesday Mi&Ssox was a stranger in town. One mom- ing while he was chatting with an ac quaintance at the station, his attention was attracted by a man who wore the bandages and bruises which indicate the activity of the humaa fist. “Well, look at that,” exclaimed Mason. “That fellow’s certainly been beaten up some!” / “Yes,” replied the other, not showing the slightest concern. “He's the editor of a scam dalous paper that’s printed here. He writes stuff abusing prominent men and women.” “Who in the world do you suppose beat him up?” asked Mason, greatly interested. “Oh, I don't know,” was the reply. “His paper comes out every Tuesday evening, aod he always looks that way every Wednesday morning.” It's the Little Things that Count HOMPSON and Miller were having ? chat about their respective properties. “Why does your wife dry the clothes in the cellar now?” asked Thompson. ‘That isnt healthy, ei it?” “Well, I don’t know,” was Miller’s reply. “To tell you the truth, Thompson, our daugh- ter is wearing so little that my wife is ashamed | to hang the stuff in the yard.” What Caused It Vulcan’s lameness is attributed to his havieg slipped on a thunder peal while walking & Olympus. Bragging Zeppelin officer—Last night we bagged + | food depot and a church. Fokker pilot—That’s nothing! I got aki | dergarten and two hospitals!
