Judge — May 3, 1924 — page 32: what you’re looking at
What you’re looking at
This page from *Judge* magazine is primarily **advertising**, not political satire. The left column contains various commercial advertisements for products and services typical of the early 20th century: birth control information (referencing Margaret Sanger, the birth control advocate), mail-order show card work, a movie magazine, acne treatments, and bust-reduction garments. The right side features a single illustration—an **automotive cartoon** showing a car nearly out of gas, struggling to climb a hill toward home. The caption reads: "That—getting home on the last gallon of gas—feeling." This is **not political satire** but rather humorous commentary on the common motorist experience: the anxiety of running low on fuel before reaching one's destination. It reflects early automobile culture and the practical concerns of car owners in an era when gas stations were less ubiquitous. The page demonstrates *Judge*'s mix of advertising revenue and light comedic content rather than sustained political commentary.
