Important Announcement to the Subscribers and Readers of Judge and Leslie’s Weekly ITH this, the issue of June 24, 1922, Lesire’s WEEKLY is combined with Jupce; America’s oldest illustrated weekly America’s oldest’ humorous weekly are one. Jupce will be the name of the combined publications. This consolidation means more, even, than a great increase of circulation and en- largement of field of operation; it means a bet and stronger magazine. ‘The best and most popular features of both magazines will be continued and developed in the new JUDGE. The splendid traditions of the past, the result of powerful and constructive work on the part of both magazines, will constantly be borne in mind in shaping our editorial policies. JupGe always has been more than a “humorous” weekly, as ordinarily interpreted. Beneath the surface of joy and humor has been the strong force which, more than once, has even helped to elect Presidents. Always profusely illustrated, always in pace with the trend of affairs and human in- terest—as both magazines h been—the combination is not only entirely logical but will result in more effective and resultful work than ever before was possible. JupGE is not interested in the inconsequential things in life. On, the contrary, his eyes and heart are set on the most important phase of human existence—“the pursuit of happiness While approaching the essentials in an optimistic and cheerful mood, while seeking the wholesome and joyful things in life, constantly emphasizing and accelerating “the pursuit of happiness,” JupGe will, with acid pen and sharpened pencil, strike at those things which stand in the way of genuine, worth-while happiness. To aid him in this work, JupGe has a remarkable Staff. Men such as William Allen White, Heywood Broun, Walter Prichard Eaton, George Jean Nathan, Walt Mason, Orson Lowell, Angus Macdonall, Arthur H. Folwell and W. Hill, ‘ond to none in their fields of work. They are indicative of the high-calibered brains which are mixed with the ink and paint that are making the new JupGE. Supplementing the editorial and art work will be the three strong and valued Lesie’s Departments— Motor, dio, Investment—conducted by nationally known authorities H. W. Slauson, William H. Easton, Theodore Williams. The new JupGe occupies a distinct niche and fills an exclusive field of its own—there is none other like it. Original, witty, cheerful, it is bound to be entertaining. And, beneath the surface of fun and humor, will be found the substance that leaves every reader thesbetter for his reading. All subscriptions to Lestre’s will be fulfilled with the new Jupce.
