# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page (June 29, 1935) The page contains primarily advertising and a mail-order catalog section. The prominent cartoon "It Wasn't Either—Neither!" depicts a domestic scene where a couple argues over household items, with one figure pointing accusingly. The satire appears to mock marital disputes over trivial matters—a common Judge theme of the era. The main editorial content is Elwood Ullman's "Ready-Made Igloos," responding to a reader inquiry about mail-order igloo kits. This is clearly satirical, presenting prefabricated igloos as modern consumer goods. The humor mocks both mail-order culture and urban Americans' fascination with exotic goods. The Sir Walter Raleigh cigarette advertisement occupies substantial space, typical of 1930s publications.

You can put it up in a jiffy by follow- ing the simple directions tacked inside the crate.

Since you describe yourself head of a rather large family, I would recommend for your purpose the “ del,” illustrated on page 347 of the cata- log. This handsome and spacious igloo consists of three rooms really have the two master bedrooms cozy third room suitable for domestic chores like skinning caribou, paring whales, etc. In other words, it will serve as a combination kitchen, pantry and breakfast nook. Or you'd love it for 1 den, THINK this is the igloo for you rather than the “Pembroke” or Chilton,” described on page 348. While cheaper, these models are only abou one-third as large as the “Arundel, and are intended for very small fam- | ilies of six or seven. The “Leicester,” | shown on page 349, is an elaborate six- room igloo really intended for a clan. I wouldn't consider it unless you want a large country place where you may entertain over the week-end. I'm sure you'll be delighted with the “Arundel.” It is quite ultra.

May I draw your attention to the large assortment of poles beginning on page 351? This season's line of poles is the most attractive we have ever shown and was obtained at a consider- able saving which we are passing on to the customer. On page 351, our artist has sketcl a group of simple three-image totems Of these, our number 18, the dog, moose and fiend, is the most popular. A great many have been sold on Lost Soul Island and the territory around the Cape of Dismay. For a modest inexpensive totem, it’s course, n excellent value. I" YOU buy a Comfigloo, however, you'll, probably want pole that’s different, something more in keeping with the tone of the place. Then, too, the better poles, with their seven or cight images, are much more effective in warding off evil spirits. One of the very newest things, a very big item with us, is number 27, shown on page 332. Made of selected } pine, this fine pole is painted in brilliant and long-lasting colors and stands 12 feet, six hes. Proceeding from top to bottom, the seven images are bear, moose, muskrat, _ fie upside-down fiend, shark and whoofenpoof. It af- fords splendid protection and lends just the right note to the grounds of the ex- clusive igloo. At slight additional cost, you may have our number 27-B. This is exactly like number 27, except that it has one more image, the bear being surmounted by what we term an ikklebink, This pole should scare off anything and everything. If you decide on 27-B, kindly specify whether ikklebink is desired in red, blue, buff or Nile green. We were indeed happy to hear from you, Mr, Gubb, and trust you will write y return mail and enclose the order for your igloo and totem pole. For a short time only, we are giving away free, with each combination purchase, a useful two-sled garage. Cordially yours, J.
