Judge — June 9, 1928 — page 30: what you’re looking at
What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and puzzle content** rather than political satire. The dominant feature is a **Statler Hotels advertisement** emphasizing modern travel amenities (radio, running water, private bath, library services) available in their rooms "at no extra cost"—targeting early 20th-century travelers concerned with comfort while away from home. Below the ad are two minor **humorous anatomical jokes** ("Funnybones" and "Krazy Klancks") where readers paid 85¢ per printed joke—early user-generated content. The **main cartoon** shows a salesman pitching a vehicle (marked "BARGAIN $10") to a skeptical man named Browne, who quips that such bargains are "usually hard to drive"—a pun on both negotiating and operating a car. The right column contains a **bridge card game solution** and prize winners, plus a **Cortez Cigars advertisement**. This appears to be a typical Judge page mixing ads, light humor, and puzzle solutions rather than political commentary.
