This page features an interactive puzzle contest for Judge magazine readers. Six cartoon panels depict American trees (first five) and an advertised product (sixth). Readers must identify all six subjects and submit their answers by September 15th, 1909 for prizes. The contest offers graduated rewards: $5 for the best correct answer, smaller prizes for next-best entries, plus free subscriptions to Judge and *Six Hopkins' Monthly* magazine. This represents the magazine's common practice of engaging readers through participation contests. The page is otherwise dominated by period advertisements—Chiclets gum, Pears' soap, Blatz beer, Sunny Brook whiskey, Mennen's talc powder, Cortez cigars, and I.W. Harper digestive tonic—typical commercial content that subsidized American magazines of this era. The puzzle itself serves as advertising vehicle while entertaining subscribers.
