# "Who's Who in Judge: Jack Holmgren" This is a profile feature, not political satire. The page introduces Jack Holmgren, identified as Judge magazine's "cover artist extraordinary." According to the text, Holmgren was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, attended Columbia University (where he played on the jester team for four years), spent a year bicycling in Europe, and returned to the U.S. to create illustrations for Judge. The photograph shows him at work in his studio with a model. The piece is lighthearted promotional content celebrating a staff artist, using the pun "peddler" to reference both his bicycle travels and his career "peddling drawings" for the magazine. This appears to be typical editorial content introducing the publication's contributors to readers.

WHO’S WHO IN JUDGE JACK HOLMGREN , | XHE young man in the above photograph is none other than our own Jack Holmgren, cover artist extraordinary. Jack was born in St. Paul, Minn., and not being able to “Go West” as most young men do, he came East to Columbia University, where he played “cover” on the Columbia Jester team for four years. Having finished college he spent a year bicycling in Europe and then peddled back to the good old U.S. A. Since then he’s been peddling drawings and the fact that he makes a lot of covers for JUDGE shows that he’s a pretty good peddler! Le —— el ee — a) JUDGE, Volume 88, Wp 2264, March 21. 1925.
