What you’re looking at
This page contains three distinct elements: **"Epiloghs" & "Fable"**: Two brief humorous pieces. The fable mocks male obtuseness through brothers Frank and Olaf, who are rewarded by a jeweler after rescuing his daughter. Frank unimaginatively chooses a gold watch; Olaf, trying to impress the girl, asks for the same watch *plus a chain*—presented as the height of cleverness. The moral sardonically warns girls against such dim-witted suitors. "Dizzy Labels" is a one-liner joke about a woman nicknamed "Ray" because she always chases money ("dough"). **Anchor Line Advertisement**: The dominant content is a travel ad promoting Scottish tourism and transatlantic steamship service. It romanticizes Scotland as an "Old World" gateway featuring historical sites (Wallace, Bruce, Bannockburn) and literary associations (Sir Walter Scott), positioning Scotland as an exotic, cultured destination. The ad emphasizes the new Anchor Liner ships' comfort and seven-day journey from New York to Glasgow. The page mixes satirical humor with commercial promotion—typical Judge magazine content.

He was so grateful for the timely interven- tion of the boys that he told them to come down to his store the next day and choose, as a reward, any- thing they wished. Well, after a sleepless night the boys went down and gazed with bewilderment upon the glit- tering array of gold, silver, and— platinum articles, and precious stones that filled the show c 5 The rescued daughter stood by, we atching them anxiously. “Boys,” said the jeweler warmly, “anything in the store is yours—anything in the store.” “Hmmm,” said Frank, who was a dumb ox anyway, “I think I'll be satisfied with a gold watch.” The jeweler, his daughter, and Olaf all looked at Frank in sur- So he got the The girl looked terribly disappointed. “Now,” said the jeweler to “what would you like to Olaf shot a contemptuous look at his brother, drew a deep breath, glanced swiftly at the blushing girl, and then faced the jeweler. “T want,” he said impressively, “a gold watch and—a chain to go with it!” Moral: Girls, beware of Frank and Olaf.
