What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising**, with three comic strips serving as filler content. The main advertisements promote Bayer Aspirin (emphasizing the trademark "Bayer Cross" to distinguish genuine product from counterfeits), Piso's cough syrup, and the U.S. School of Music correspondence course. The three comic strips offer light humor: 1. **"Mrs. MacTavish"**: A Scottish woman removes her telephone earpiece during a radio church service—the joke being the collection plate is being passed, and she doesn't want to be caught unprepared. 2. **The collar salesman**: A clever sales tactic showing multiple collar styles displayed on a clothesline, illustrated as an "ingenious" sales method. 3. **"The Elephunnies' Sight-Seeing Party"**: Anthropomorphic elephants on a tour, with a guide humorously calling skyscrapers "sights"—simple visual humor. The page reflects early 20th-century consumer culture, trademark concerns, and gentle domestic comedy typical of Judge magazine's humor.
