Judge — March 24, 1928 — page 28: what you’re looking at
What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising** interspersed with brief humorous content. The main cartoon, "Centuries of Progress," uses simple line drawings to contrast primitive life (people in nature) with modern automotive progress (a man driving a car), with the caption asking "Have we progressed so very much?" — a **satirical jab at modern "progress,"** suggesting that despite technological advancement, humanity may not have fundamentally improved. The page features multiple product advertisements (Forhan's mouthwash, Mothersill's train sickness remedy) and humor columns like "Funnybones" with London Opinion reprints. The "Apple Jackrabbit" recipe advertisement appears to be a humorous novelty item. Overall, this reflects **early 20th-century American satirical magazine content**: mixing social commentary about modernity with consumer advertising and light comedy, typical of Judge magazine's blend of satire and commerce.
