What you’re looking at
This page contains primarily **advertisements and filler content** rather than political cartoons. The main advertised item is a **customs evasion scheme** by cigar manufacturers Bondy & Lederer. They illegally imported Cuban tobacco plants to U.S. soil, cultivated them domestically, and avoided tariff duties by producing "genuine Vuelta" cigars at home. The ad openly boasts they can sell superior five-cent cigars because they've escaped "enormous duties"—essentially advertising tax evasion. The satirical humor here targets both the manufacturers' brazenness and the federal government's apparent inability to stop smuggling. The ad's frank discussion of circumventing U.S. Customs reflects early 20th-century attitudes toward tariff enforcement as somewhat comical rather than serious. The remaining content consists of puzzle-contest answers, cigar advertisements, and light humor columns—typical Judge magazine filler material unrelated to political satire.

U. S. CUSTOMS EVADED SAMPLE BOXES 50 CENTS OR $1 PREPAID TO ANY ADDRESS Young tobacco plants brought over from the Vuelta Abajos district of Cuba and transplanted in carefully chosen spots near Southern Atlantic and Gulf waters. Those that thrived are sprouted and multiplied until good-sized crops are raised. After natural processes of curing, a perfectly delicious genuine Vuelta is obtained. Escaping the enormous dutics, the projectors—Bondy & Lederer, the largest independent factory in America—are enabled to produce a five-cent cigar with a prime, genuine Vuelta filler. ‘The best kind of a properly cured Sumatra wrapper, with all bitterness removed, is added. The benefit of it all is given to the old B. & L. brand, “Tom Keene.” Most people say money could not’ pur- chase anything finer to smoke. The delicate ‘Java Coffee" flavor of the costliest imported goods of the milder type is plainly scen at its best in this new ‘Tom Keene.” Send to the factory for a box. We make a special offer to send sample box of twelve for 50 cents prepaid, or twenty-five for $1.00 pre- paid. Address Sampling Dept.
