What you’re looking at
This page mixes humor with advertising. The left side contains three brief jokes from *Judge*'s "Krazy Kracks" section—light satirical humor typical of the era. The first jokes about a pompous, poor golfer who tears up the fairway; another mocks a man perpetually broke and borrowing money; a third plays on the phrase "an army marches on its stomach." The dominant content is a **full-page advertisement** for Fougere Royale After-Shaving Lotion, featuring two men's faces in a dramatic before-and-after photograph. The ad copy promises the product will eliminate the tired, haggard "morning-after" look and provide a luxurious shave. It emphasizes masculine vigor and quick transformation—appealing to early 20th-century male grooming standards. The juxtaposition suggests *Judge* used such ads to subsidize satirical content. The page reflects period attitudes about appearance, masculinity, and consumer products as solutions to fatigue or social inadequacy.
