What you’re looking at
This is a humor column where Norman Anthony asks ordinary people about timely topics. Here, the question concerns the "used car situation"—likely referring to post-WWI economic conditions and the booming secondhand automobile market of the 1920s. The four respondents express frustration through exasperated exclamations ("D—m! H—ll!"), their garbled outbursts suggesting the used-car market was chaotic, confusing, or exploitative. The accompanying cartoons show them physically distressed or contorted—visual metaphors for how the used-car situation made people feel. The satire targets both the murky, frustrating nature of buying used vehicles and perhaps the aggressive salesmanship of the era. The page is primarily advertising (dance lessons, toy guns, cigars), typical of Judge magazine's format.
