# Analysis This page is primarily **promotional text** rather than a political cartoon. It advertises next week's "Banker's Number" issue of *Judge* magazine. The text promises humorous stories about bankers' personal lives, claiming to reveal that financial institutions have human warmth and humor. It mentions contributors Angus MacDonall, Orson Lowell, John Held Jr., and Simon Werner producing illustrations. The satire is mild: the premise that bankers might possess "hearts" and "joy" suggests contemporary skepticism about banking institutions' humanity—likely reflecting post-WWI American attitudes toward finance and big business. The page also advertises upcoming special issues (Navy, Army, and Follies numbers), indicating *Judge's* regular publication practices and marketing approach to readers during this era.

Next Week-—Banker’s Number! [’ you think the banker hasn't got a heart, just read next week’s issue of JupGcr. It just goes to prove that there is a human touch of joy and humor everywhere, even in a bank, and that happiness can be * found in the cold marble confines of our greatest financial institutions. Did you ever hear the story of the—but, no!—you'll find it in the Banker’s Number, along with the story of the Guaranty’s vice-presidents and a host of others. Angus MacDonall, Orson Lowell, John Held, Jr., and Simon Werner have produced some pictures—gems that you'll want to keep, and maybe frame. And there will be coupons to clip (no Banker’s Number would be complete without coupons to clip) which will bring you something to treasure. This will be wonderful practice—this clipping of coupons—it puts you right into the banking atmosphere. We don’t know, of course, but we've got an idea that there’s at least one story in this issue which will be worth its weight in American gold to you; a story that will melt the combination to your banker’s heart and get him to do just what you want—try it on him! This issue of JupGe will tell you some things and show you some things about Bankers that you've not even guessed before. This Banker’s Number will be one that you will turn back to and read again, often, during the years to come. It elucidates the Law of Supply and Demand, it demonstrates the Seed and the Plant, it shows a big bank holdup (the pleasant kind) and much, oh, very much, more! PS. The big special Navy Number and the extra special Army Number are both under way and coming strong! These are copies of JupGE that you will hold priceless, will cherish and preserve. PoP. S. There are only a few copies of the Follies Number left—50 cents each, postpaid on receipt of your remittance.
