# "Who's Who in Judge" - A.J. Trembath This page profiles cartoonist A.J. Trembath, a contributor to *Judge* magazine. The biographical sketch is presented as light satire, using self-deprecating humor about his career path. Trembath claims he never aspired to be a "Judge" (likely a pun on the magazine's name), but instead hoped to work for publications like the *New York World*. The text humorously recounts his failed attempts at journalism and time spent at the Art Student's League in New York after relocating from Vancouver, B.C. The final quip about not taking "Nuxated Iron" (a contemporary patent medicine/supplement) adds comedic closure to his modest autobiography. This is essentially a lighthearted promotional feature introducing a staff member to readers rather than political satire.

WHO’S WHO IN JUDGE A. J. TREMBATH O, gentle readers, this is not one of the Barry- mores. His name really is Trembath! He was born in Michigan, but claims Bellingham, Wash., as his home town. He began his career by taking a correspondence school course in cartooning, receiving forty lessons for. $7.50. For the rest we will quote directly from his autobiography: “I never aimed as high as JUDGE, but thought that I might make the grade with some obscure publication like the New York World. As a stepping-stone I tried report- ing on the local papers. Being fired for incompetency, I came to New York after bumping the bumps in Vancouver, B. C., and put in a lot of time in the Art Student’s League without learning much. This is all, except that I do not take Nuxated Iron.” Publiahed Weetly and copyrighted 1925 by Leslie-Judee Co. tm 1 Secretary; Joseph T Cooney, Am't Treaserer For advertising rates address E.R.
