# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains an essay titled "Calendars" by Chief Shaver alongside illustrations. The top shows two drawings of a canoe with figures, captioned "That Canoe As it Seemed to the Girl and To the Bashful Suitor"—a visual gag about subjective perception in romantic situations. Below is an illustration showing a domestic interior scene with the caption "You knew what I was before you married me!" / "The folks who persuaded me should be selling automobiles!"—satirizing how salesmanship and persuasion tactics were being applied to marriage prospects, suggesting people were being "sold" into relationships like commodities. The essay discusses calendars as commercial objects, noting calendar salesmen were ubiquitous. The humor derives from contrasting the mundane necessity of calendars with the aggressive sales culture of early 20th-century America.
