IN WITNESS Sirs: I am frank in telling you that during the number of years I have travelled THE JUDGE has accompanied me on many a trip. Pos- sibly I should have utilized this “spare” time by reading some writer's dissertation on how the country should be run, psychometry in relation to one’s sales personnel, or some- thing, but I have found that I could arrive at my destination in a much better mood for the work ahead of me by spending an hour or so with THE JUDGE. Davip A. JENKS Waitt & Bond, Inc. = Newark, N.J. Sirs: Allow me to extend congratulations to you on your splendid issue. Senator Expert D. THomMas US. Senator from Utah Washington, D.C. Sirs: My heartiest congratulations on the Janu- ary issue of THE Jupce. It has zest—and spirit—and dignity. And it has captured the sparkle that made THE Jupce famous back in the days when a maga- zine could be humorous and _ entertaining without nudes and “ludes. (Have I coined a word?) Here's hoping—a hope shared by a belief —that the next six months will find THe uDGE re-established in the homes of a mil- ion or more readers. M. J. Kieinretp Franklin Bruck Advertising Corp. New York City Sirs: Who is the guilty so an’ so, the transgress- ing name-changer who had the effrontery to change the name of my favorite magazine from Jupce to THe June? Frrinstance in your wildest flights of fawn- cy can you imagine THe Lire, THe Puck, Tue Esquire, THe Coruier’s? By th’ way did you note that The Justice Sutherland re- tired? Oh, yes, I know that ‘way back at the dawn of Time it was THe JupGe—but that The was eliminated just as soon as they discov- ered their error. However, the writer realizes that his has always been the voice crying in the wilder- ness, and that perhaps he should The Judge not, that he be not The Judged.” More in sorrow than in anger. Tue Nate Cotue 100 Knapp Terrace Leonia, N.J. Sirs: The naive pride exhibited in your collec- tion of rogue-signatures in the January num- ber is quite touching. The current crop of political buffoons, headed by the Chief Clown in the White House and running on down through the sorry mass, no doubt are grate- ful for the free publicity; but have you con- sidered what it is doing to your own reputa- tion? The adolescent quality of material in the January issue verifies the suspicion, but all is forgiven . . . | understand . . . you are pub- lishing THe Jupce with a direct appeal to juveniles and morons. ENocH Morse Minneapolis, Minn. . Sirs: Tue Juoce (for January) came today and is really a gem. Congratulations to this wise and witty publication. O. F. Cooper Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Co. Wilmington, N.C. Sirs: Birthday Greetings to you! jonah was a swalla’d suppa, rushin’ whale tooth—lowa ‘n uppa; Like him, while around the moist world churns, I wish you some amazin’ returns! M. R. SULLIVAN Cranford, N.J. Sirs: I have perused the January number of THE Jupce with much interest and amusement. I have been seeing your little magazine around for more years than I care to remember, be- ginning 25 years ago or more in England, and I congratulate you upon its success. W. W. Hut Berry Bros. & Co. New York City . Sirs: Your “Golf Campion’, article by Alec Duncan convinces us that he knows both golf and the men who have made it their profes- sion. more of his articles in future issues of THE Jupce. E. J. CiissoLp Peter Henderson & Co. New York City We are looking forward to reading * WHEREOF Sirs: It was my pleasure to subscribe to THE JuDGE two years ago. I found its humor so subtle that unconsciously I would quote from it in my sermons, and someone would recog- nize the quote. RevereND D. W. LyMAN Rose, N.Y. Sirs: Tue Jupce Album from 1881 to 1938 is very entertaining. Donato C. VAUGHAN Brooks Brothers New York City Sirs: I thought I had a sense of humor until | received my copy of the Jubilee issue. I still think I have, hence no more JuDGE for me. L. M. SwaaB Philadelphia, Pa. Sirs: Thanks for the new Juoce. It has a fresh zip, and good luck to it. O. O. McINTYRE = New York, N.Y. Sirs: Certainly THE JuDGE holds a very impor- tant place in the hearts of its readers. In the ast, | have had my share of laughs from HE JUDGE, and I hope you will continue to serve the American people for many, many years to come. H. S. Morris Quaker State Oil Refining Corp. Oil City, Pa Sirs: On the whole I want to congratulate you on the splendid appearance of your magazine. . P. Moore Union Pacific Railroad Co. Omaha, Neb. Sirs: Certainly, what America needs today is more laughs—and your magazine is about the only real humorous publication that is left in the field. I wish you great success.
