# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page is primarily **advertising for Statler Hotels**, not political satire. The main cartoon shows a man at a desk writing, with a speech bubble: "Let me write that. I'm brand new and the ink is fresh." The accompanying text explains that hotels like Statler are "judged by attention to 'little things'"—details like fresh ink in pens, clean pen points, and well-maintained supplies. The advertisement emphasizes Statler Hotels' pioneering attention to guest service through these minor but noticeable details. The left column discusses literary criticism of war novels, but this appears unrelated to the hotel advertisement's main message about service quality and customer satisfaction.

I'M BRAND NEW AND THE INK IS FRESH” ATTENTION TO “LITTLE THINGS” ERHAPS you won't notice—when you reach for pen and ink in your room at a Statler Hotel—that the pen-points, both “stub” and “fine” are brand new, per- fectly clean... the ink fresh and free-flowing. You'll think about what you're writing, not what you're writing with... which is exactly what we want you to do. You would be all too conscious of our writing equipment if you found scratchy, sputtering pen-points...crusty, half-petrified ink .,.an inkwell that smudged yo fingertips. You'd be upset, as you have been by such irritations at other hotels we ve made sure that there will not be such a discordant note in your stay with us. The many “little things” that make you happy—completely comfortable—in our hotels, did not just happen. Each new idea was given painstaking study...worked out with laboratory exactness before being added to the long, constantly growing list of Statler innovations, You can get along, of course, without a pin cushion with its quick-repair supply of buttons, pins and threaded needles... without the special pants hanger on the closet door or the towel hook handily placed to save groping overhi . telephone-attached memorandum pad ... or the convenient desk calendar ... the tourist and visitor's city map...the ample supply of stationery, both business and telegraph blanks...all little things, but would your stay be as pleasant if we hadn't thought of them?
